I think #5 or #7 would need the least revisions, myself. I hate the book-and-pen thing in #1, and also the colors and "wacky" font.

Here's the thing: a large portion of your clientele will be Christian homeschoolers, who will distinctly prefer to buy from a Christian company. So if you let the window pane be ambiguous--a cross to Christians and a window pane to everyone else--you'll have the best of both worlds, IMHO. I think with some color changes and a totally different font, #7 could be really good.

#7. It has a Disney-esque quality. I'd change the colors tho.....needs some chalkboard green somewhere.

I like 1 and 3...but the color scheme on 1 looks much better imho.

Where do you work? Do you know where I can see that logo?

I'm still trying to figure out what that curly line is supposed to be coming off the book in #1. Thanks for the well wishes. I hope this pans out.

I could see that little house being drawn in chalk on a green background.

on #1, ditch the book/pen thing, add a piece of chalk drawing the roof...i do like the roof because it brings the HOME into homeschooling...

quickie photoshop job...add maybe a piece of chalk or something...tried to get the roof 'chalkboard green
'

I like the idea of the "Home School" being under a roof.
I also like the idea of "Supply House" being nice and big so people know this is a business, damn it.

I liked the idea of the chalkboard, and it got me thinking about how in the old days people like Abraham Lincoln would have a small chalkboard for their home schooling with a little piece of chalk tied to it.

Maybe this is too, ahem, old school, but this was my thought.

I'm certainly no graphic designer and this is no good as it appears here, but it gives you the idea. If you go with it, or something derived from it, I only ask that you make a small contribution to the Cellar tip mug.

I like lab's logo but not the colors. That basic dark green with a pastel-like turquoisey color...no. Stick with primaries and secondaries (imho) :)

...a lot of the people I know who home school do so to get away from the "tied to the chalk board" thing. But then they might also not be interested in commercial supplies..... :neutral:

I like #1, but the more I look at the samples, the less connected my brain becomes ... I started to read HomeSchool Ho'meyshul ... which I suppose is an African American Jewish Academy.

I've been working too hard.

Ok, I went with design number 1, but I asked for some samples with different fonts and colors. If you go to the same website now, you'll see design number 1 but with all different colors and fonts.

I'm also going to talk to them and ask them to take away that curly swish thing coming off the book.

I was thinking about going with a pencil rather than a pen, and I'd really like the words SUPPLY HOUSE to be added to this logo because I don't want people to forget that it's a business, and it's a one-stop-shop for homeschool supplies.

I like #5, although I think maybe tweak the colors a little -get a little more contrast in there. And Add "Supply House" -perhaps with "supply" in the Same color as "school" and "House" in the same color as "home".

Another I'd be interested to see it with the word Homeschool in lower case, and also in lower case but with the H capitalized (but no space) to introduce a "HS -SH" pattern:

I like #1 nice font for what you are doing - can it be enlarged just a bit? Don't like the colors. Also like #3 for the font.
