    Hello everyone and thank you for the work so far. I wanted to give some feedback on what I see and hope that it is helpful. I think my top three at this point are #1, #2, and #4 as I think those are headed in the direction I want to go. I will give my thoughts on each entry because I know these are works in progress.
    #1 I like the graphic but font is not striking me - is there a way to incorporate DN?
    #2 I like the design quite a bit - is it possible to add a pitched roof for graphic?
    #3 I just see this as a picture of a home with my name under it - would love to see it spiced up with an actual logo in which people would look at it and know instantly that it was my brand
    #4 I like the general look and layout, but would love to elaborate on the DN initials and make them unique.
    #5 We could leave out the title (mortgage broker& loan officer) on logo. I think it is a little on the plain side (especially the DN) and I am not crazy about the house logo used.
    #6 Also a little on the plain side and I am not too keen on the circles used around the DN. We could also leave out the 15 years of experience.
    Again, I hope that this feedback is helpful and look forward to checking back. Please let me know if you have any questions or I can clarify anything. ;-)

    Hi all, thank you for your entries! I had to eliminate a few designs to give a sense of direction for the contest. I am trying to give good feeback and please submit additional entries - I am looking forward to seeing more ideas!
    #2 - Could I see a couple other variations? You are definitely on the right track with the logo. Love the door idea but would like to develop the 'roof' a little more?
    #7 - Would also like to see some variations on your design. I like the incorporation of my initials (DN) with the house/roof logo.
    Reyres - I eliminated #4 (a little too plain). If there are a couple other variations combining elements of #1, #4, and #11 that would be great. On #11 - would like to eliminate or re-work initials (DN).

    Hi all, it is great seeing the progress... we have some definite talent here! I am going to give some additional feedback.
    #14 - wasn't quite what I was looking for. Cleverly incorporating initials DN and home logo is what I am going for - should be eye catching and unique, but professional, and instantly recognizeable as my brand.
    #13 - Roof sits a little too close to the initials. Perhaps you could develop a slightly different style with this concept?
    #12 - I like the home shape in the 'A', but could you develop a concept combining the initials 'DN' with the house logo?
    #15 - Roofline really makes it pop - nice job. Could you offer a variation with 'Dave Nuber Mortgage Group' in the wording?

    #16 and #17 - would like to see these developed further. You are on the right track with the requirement to have a logo that is readily recognizeable as my personal brand but would like to see different options as these are not quite what I am looking for. #16 - a little too plain. #17 - can't really see the 'D' in the logo.

    Oops - I apologize for the last message in which I inadvertently switched the comments for #16 and #17. I meant to say I could not see the 'D' in #16 and that #17 is a little too plain.
    For #19, #20, and #22 I think the logos are too plain. I need them to be unique and able to be easily recognized as my personal brand.
    #21 - I like the new twist on the DN incorporated into the logo with the house theme.
    #18 - could we try the 'mortgage group' below the horizontal line? Also, what do you think about a different font (needs to still be professional)?
    I want to thank everyone for the entries as we head down the home stretch to the end of the contest tomorrow night, when I will be choosing a contest winner.
    Please submit all of your new ideas and re-worked entries. Best of luck and thank you again!

    I wanted to mention that I am partial to navy blue for a main color, perhaps with a gold accent. Another consideration would be a burgundy or cardinal color, again maybe with a gold accent color. However, I am open to other color variations that have a professional, classic appearance.
