Modern Branding for Heritage Icon

Wentworth Villa

Architectural Heritage Museum

Wentworth Villa is an Architectural Heritage Museum located in Victoria, BC Canada. We concentrate on local, domestic architecture built pre-1914. Our main target audience is under 40. The intent is to build interest in local history through architecture.
We are currently revamping our existing website and need a redesign of our logo and branding.

The current Wentworth Villa website: http://wentworthvilla.com

Some design points that we are interested in:

- We are looking for a modern new look to our logo. We are open to any changes and new ideas. Although not necessary, any designs ideas that incorporate some aspect of the current logo will be appreciated and considered.

- A design that is more square/rectangular than linear.

- We would like the tagline "Architectural Heritage Museum" to be included, but is not necessary.

- We would like an icon as part of the logo

- If possible, the icon part of the logo should be able to be presented on its own without the text/name. We would like the icon to be interesting enough that it can be used on its own, on special occasions without the use of the name/text.

- If the icon part of the logo alludes to architecture that would be preferred. It does not have to contain the letters of our name nor does it have to have a roofline.

- wentworthvilla.com is our primary domain. We have a secondary domain which is wvahm.com (Wentworth Villa Architectural Heritage Museum). It would be a bonus if the icon could work with both names. Again, this is something that is not necessary.

The files that are attached are:
- The original logo which is on the current website.
- A layout of the new website, which includes an update to the logo.
- The current updated logo.
- A rejected logo idea, maybe it could be helpful somehow.
