    Hi all,
    I would like your input on a logo I am designing for a virtual tour company. I am kind of stuck with the fonts and colour so any brilliant ideas would be very welcome. Thanks in advance

    Here is what I have so far:

    Good job! I would prefer the first one. Take away the shadow effect on the house and you're done!

    I also like the first. Wolfram makes a good point about the shadow effect.

    What if you did an archway door instead of a normal rectangle door?

    very nice but.... te corners of the house are "hard" and those ot the text is "soft" i suggest either softening the house or hardening the text... just an opinion. other than that its fantastic. also i like the grey test best

    Zanzibar, I do like the first one a lot. Since it is a virtual tour, I was just playing with a cylinder look to it as it was virtual. I kind of liked how it came out, but I just wanted to throw around the idea.

    Thank you guys, I tried a harder looking font but I didn't like the look of it.
    Keep the comments coming...

    Thanks Connor. I think I could lighten the sphere a little. I was just passing along the concept of the virtual aspect, not really focusing too much on the colors or brightness.

    Very nice Nicky, but I think it gives more the impression of a 360 virtual tour not just 180 panorama.

    Why don't you like the shadow effect on the house in number 1? This is not for the web not for print.

    The house had a shadow, and the text didn't making it look disjointed. If you took off just a single pixel of each corner in the house (rounding it slightly), it may flow a bit better.
    Edit: Spelling...

    Gnome's idea is a good one, giving the house a little bit of a softer edge: plump edges would make it look a little more welcoming ... almost like a hug from grandma without the floral curtains and doilies! ;)

    so you do know my Grandma! Her hobbies are making floral curtains and ceramic dolls!

    Very cool ;) My house would not survive flowered curtains! But I hope it is still fairly welcoming ... to backtrack to the topic, doesn't a slightly plump line in a logo seem like its a little more welcoming?
