Logo Design Brief

Hi all,
Thanks in advance for your input. Here is what I'm looking for:

- A logo for a new residential green construction company called "Align" that communicates northwest modern design style, clean building style and finishes, with a natural, creative aesthetic.

Some specifics:
- Company is focused on modern, small sustainable/green homes

- Logo should look and function well with and without the tagline(s):
"Design:build + smart, small, structures" OR "Furniture"

- I like Sans Sarif fonts, but am open to other creative ideas

- I am interested in seeing designs with both upper and lower case

-My building style is "Northwest Modern" a google image search of "northwest modern architecture" and "northwest modern furniture" will provide a good sense of my aesthetic

For the logo, here are some things I like:

- Wood end grain line drawing(similarly detailed to the image provided below), square or round image -OR-

- with singular unique imagery similar to some of the example images

- The alliteration of “align” and “a line”,subtle

- Some suggested colors are green and black and white and brown, the logo does not need to have all or any of these at this stage

Hello, 

I have added more examples of logos that I am attracted too.  I have also clarified that my color choices are only suggestions.  The right logo could have only one color, or one primary color with a subtle  accent.
Thanks
Stefan

I am getting some designs that I would describe as "corporate" or stark.  I am interested in a more organic and warm design.

Thanks for all your efforts so far.

Hi,


I have chosen two fonts that I like.  Please try to include one of these in at least one of your submissions.
Thanks!
 
These are from Google font:

Gruppo, Normal 400, lowercase

Josefin Sans, Normal 400, UPPERCASE

I will also add download files to my design brief.  

Thanks again.

Thank you to everyone for your awsome submissions!  I have really been enjoying seeing all the great ideas.  At this point, I would like to open things up a bit.  Please continue to send ideas based on my design brief if you want to, but I am also interested in seeing designs with really stellar and creative ideas that aren't bound by what I suggested.  Color, graphic and font are free game.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hi all, I am extending my deadline. I am working out the final changes with my top design choices, some of whom are in very distant time zones. I am confused as to whether the contest will end at 8AM May 4 on my US pacific standard time, or Design Crowds Australian time. To avoid any issues, I have pushed the deadline. Thanks. I have really enjoyed working with all of you, and appreciate all the work that has been done on my behalf. Stefan
