Default Odd shape or nice mark?

Done a few concepts for a new client but I'm a little split on this one, I've done a few typical concepts but wanted to add one a little different that doesn't look like all the other Estate Agents logos, but I'm not too sure the H is recognizable enough? Any thoughts?

I think it works as an H. It is very different to the norm I think that's why it stands out

I think it's a great looking mark, but I didn't see the H initially. You may be trying to stay away from this sort of idea, but what if you did a thin line trace over the H? You would see the H more, but loose some of the subtleness of your original idea.

The H it's self was an after thought, I was trying to work with 2 way arrows to symbolize 2 way moves but the H would be a plus if I can enhance it a little more

first thought that popped into my mind was a bow tie :/
not seeing anything memorable in this one; i don't see the representation of '2 way moves', so i'd try to ehance the H so it has some sort of connection to the business. sorry, you know me and always wanting 'meaning' with logos

Meaning?!?! You mean, these are supposed to have meaning?! Oh, man! And here I was thinking this was an awesome logo.

I like it. Nice colours, good clean font. I also didn't see the H though. To me it looked like more of a flag, which is not a bad thing. Works well for an estate agent i think.

I saw two arrows, mainly the one pointing to the right... I wouldnt have thought of a 'h' had someone not mentioned it

I really like it toon, I think it looks like land (hills) and sea, so really fits into the theme in a 'out of the box' way. Good stuff.

in agreement there with that land and sea point, esp as the green is actually in the shape of hills. also, loving that green. it's a really nice looking mark but there's a possibility it would work better for something else i think

nice work, again! ;)
