Our Slogan
Lending you can bank on!
What we do
Under the company we work for, we provide the money to purchase and refinance home loans (homes, investment properties, etc.) for middle to upper class family oriented people located in Maryland as well as investors looking to expand their portfolio of investment properties. Currently, we originate home loans for the largest privately held mortgage company in the U.S. (MMI, inc.)
This logo (MDLenders.com) will be the publicly advertised site that clients and potential clients visit (the MDLenders.com address will lead people to gabrielbensimon.com site. Will eventually need a logo for gabrielbensimon.com site).
Industry: Real Estate

Things to communicate through the design
1. Class/Integrity - to deliver what is promised/keep our word
2. Competence/Efficiency/Solid Work Ethic - to get the potentially complicated loan done and done efficiently.
3. Seriousness/Trust - that I will take care of the client from start to finish and work in their best interest. Serious about their money and the most expensive purchase they'll make.

We like these fonts, colors and style
Bold, 3 dimensional/depth design, visible from "afar", colors that will look good on white backgrounds (complementary colors??) with a classic and elegant style. Looking for a polished look but also noticeable and very professional looking.
-I like warm inviting colors like warm inviting orange tones that 'draw' invitations/people in
-like the look of polished fonts.
Liked 1st and 2nd place here: [Login to view URL]
other than the "simple" house. Perhaps a more luxurious looking house would give off a different image?
Also liked one of the winners for the IGB company (was a brick house with the letters I, G, B under neath. The house though looked very basic. Can't locate that project right now.
