Description Briefing:
Specializing in residential real estate with a strong emphasis on specific (large, newer) neighborhoods. focus on sales / resales of real estate.

keywords:
Classy, elegant and timeless.

Concept:
When I started to sketch, I noticed that the two characters could connect symmetrically. After some time looking for some detail I discovered that the use of negative space between the G and the R could be interesting: I began to see a bow tie and at the same time, a roof top. Well, I just had to find the balance.

I hope you like it, constructive feedback is indeed appreciated!

Thank you so much.

Best,
JoΓ£o

nice, although i agree with comments about the typography - you should be using Smallcaps. I don't understand the motivation for the little "inktrap" spaces in the interior between the two characters - is that supposed to be a house?

nicely done. i had problems to understand where the 'house' was, but the bow tie was there clearly. once again, great job. *

i love to read your descriptions. wonderful logo!
i admit at first i read GG [the second horizontally splitted] and i was wondering where the other G was on the name. ahem. but it could be due of my tiredness

kr2su [2007-09-05 16:55:02 +0000 UTC]

Really great logo at first glance,
but however you should consider alternatives for the reason - REPRODUCTIVITY!!!

When logo is produced in minuscule scale (about 6mm wide - businesscards etc) the tie symbol will probably disappear in raster + try to fit it to the billboards, that represent real estate development and develop some stylish elements. Bizcards can be conservative, but development projects all have their unique identity, where the corporate identity should fit.

A little more about the bizcard - Use the small-caps version of the font for name!

But overall, I love it!!! And I love the way you present your work. Do you present it to the client the same way or do you practice the classical way of presentation (powerpoint etc?)

PS. We're currently also rebranding a real estate company, but we took radically different point of view at the problem...

hmm, it's really nice but i'm not sure of that tail in G, coz now it looks like reflected R.
Besides it's great, as usual :]

hikaridrops [2007-09-05 04:06:18 +0000 UTC]

nice concept!!
but do you think it's necessary to put a tail under the G?
'cuz i don't think it needs to be 100% balanced.
IMHO...

bartollo In reply to hikaridrops [2007-09-05 09:57:37 +0000 UTC]

I think it's necessary to keep the shape ballanced imo
