Simensen Painting

Describe your company and organization and target audience

Small painting company that focuses primarily on high-end exterior log cabins in the Northwoods of Minnesota on Lake Vermilion.  Also do interior new construction and remodels.

The design should have the following

Name and symbol/logo or the company name enclosed in an emblem.  Use earthtone colors and express a highend business that does professional work.  Majority of my work is for million dollar lake/vacation homes.

Would rather have something in the logo that represents northwoods cabin country (canoe, paddle, moose, pine trees, cabins etc) over something that represents painting (brush or roller) unless they can be combined in a subtle creative way


This logo will be used for

  • Online (Website, facebook etc.)
  • Print (business cards, letterheads, brochures etc.)
  • Merchandise (mugs, t-shirts etc.)
  • Signs (including shops, billboards etc.)

This design should not have this in the entries

paint rollar images

anything to cartoonish

to many bright colors



Colors to use in the design

I prefer earth tones or darker colors with the potential for a brighter accent color.
