I think it looks good. One thing I would change is to arrange the wheatstalk in a manner that lets the G read easier, especially for a moving truck. Maybe thinning or smalling it slightly would help. The overall and compo looks good to me. Bronzeo

OK Utter, First drop the circle around the G. Cut the wheat off where it tucks behind the G, reduce the wheat in height, but keep the width a little. Now tighten up the space between the farm lettering until the black outlines are about touching. Reduce the line space until the F is overlapping the O's equally. The size of the G could be increased to drop below the baseline of oodwin to help with centering the farm. If this is all utterly confusin', just scrap this post and sell the job. You've done pretty good already!

Yep....lower the wheat, stretch out the top copy then tighten the bottom copy. Make the inner part of the circle around the G a different color, possibly a forest green. Nice choice for colors.....looks good!
sorry so big..and sorry about the wheat just another idea.

Yeah Cheryl, that's looking real good. Name out front , farms receeding some, and location further "back" That design trick using different style or size first letter can leave it looking oodwin farms.

Here's a change I thought of trying out. I felt that some overlapping elements could work & a larger "G". I also wanted to kern "Farms" but didn't try to do it. Maybe a more scripty font?

You may be on to something Steve. The different font on the G. or maybe "oodwin" needs to be different. The customer originally wanted a "frilly" or "decorative" G. I really didn't think that would work either. I suppose he was thinking like you would see on a crest or something.........thanks
