LOGO HELP!!!! Houses! Houses! Houses!

American HomeStars, Inc.

American HomeStars is a privately owned residential real estate investment company. We buy homes from people who need to sell quickly. We sell nice refinished homes to people who didn't know they could afford to buy a home. We help people with real estate problems. We advertise both online and by direct mail. We need a logo that can be put onto our website, our business cards, T-shirts, etc.

First time home buyers, families, anyone who needs to sell their house quickly.

-No American Flag.
-No Cartoons
-I like designs with dimension (3D or Shiny)
-Please include both the name "American HomeStars" and some type of graphic that represents either a single house, a neighborhood, a landscape with a home, etc.
-Graphic can be either a complete icon type graphic or a line drawing representation. -
It can be abstract but not necessary.
-Since the name is very long, I prefer a graphic that can be separated from the name for times when space is limited so we can just be identified by the graphic itself. (An example of this would be the FortuneBuilders logo attached.) I like this logo because the name can be written next to the logo or below the logo depending on where it is going to be used. Also, the logo itself is a good representation of the company even if the name is removed altogether.
-If you want to use Initials in the graphic part of the design, they should be AHS
