your logo should communicate something about your brand and company, i'm not sure what your company exactly does but i'll tell you my thoughts on all: 1 and 2 feel the most like a real estate logo, it is a more traditional font and the roof shed obviously communicates real estate. 3-6 feel more like beauty product or pharmaceutical products logos, because of the softer colors, flowing font, etc. 7 is by far my favorite, it has a bold simple look that stands out, but i don't know if the leaf is communicating anything about your business.

@Terry PortierBut you've already advised us in another thread that you work with insurance companies, make at least 50% profit and that we REI are not worth your time.So, I really don't think you can answer questions from REI who work with contractors that don't do insurance work.I don't ever pay for bids and anybody advising me that they want to charge me - they don't need to bother coming out.14K bid for an exterior paint job would seem that it's either a 7-color custom job on a 2 story victorian painted lady or a big multi-family building.

The 10% profit share was essentially for him managing some sub-contractors at no charge to me, and for his wife's invaluable help, helping me pick materials, colors, finishes etc.  

The color of the grout.  

When getting together a plan to flip the house, things like floor plan, layout, cabinets, paint colors, design plans etc.

Light color is popular these days.Your insurance $1200 seems to be high. 

Paver colored or complicated pattern is like $12/sf.

Buying from the builder, they covered closing, waved the $2500 "lot premium" for my rear brick wall, added a few features with negotiations, etc and I had quite a bit of control over finishes, colors, etc...all things I had to select along the way, far before completion.

It colors my judgment sometimes, and I should not have been so flippant with my comments.
