I never said it had to have a story, you did !
;)I was perhaps a little harsh it's just that this logo did nothing for me and alitterall trnslation of the words like this is an easy way out. more thought. IMO

I also found them too literal and marks are overshadowing the text. For some reason they make me think of a stage door, they seem non-tech looking imo.

There is a nice one on the bottom left of the circle for oxford development that reminds me of a series of open doors...maybe it would be possible to do something with the D or the O, having it partly open, to allude to openness?
Good luck!

open door suggesting possibility right? the company wants a sense of come through our door and we'll open things up for you including doors which closed. So potential seen and defined is what they are peddling.
I agree that the yr initial literal handling of the "door" did not read well, almost more book than door mostly because an open door would be unfilled. Running a dark grey for door and a lighter for the opening doesn't suggest the possibility of passage or if you could walk through it the room would be dark (?) so the wrong sense of what the company is selling.The suggestions you go simple shapes makes sense if you can boil the idea behind "open door" rather than the hackneyed common expression of it.
when I think of "open door"
I think
accessibility
potential
promise
passage
seamless transitionall these ideas are conveyed by the words. Maybe word mark is the way to go.
Just don't abbreviate Open Doors.

You need to work on your typography before you start doing identities. Type is such an important part and can, by itself, lift a logo/signature to another level.
I would suggest you read "thinking with type" by Ellen lupton. Great little book with historical, practical and technical info.

thanks for the feedback guys! the name "open door" came from the fact that they provide software solutions for the real estate industry.
what can i do to further improve the typestyle/mark?

There are 5 'O' s in those three words maybe you could work that somehow the door image still isn't cutting it. Still reads like a book.
Its ok name for real estate though
Have a couple of stiff drinks being friday and all revisit what you have Sunday

i like them, but I would also think in pixel size forms, being a software company, this logo may be applyed in icon size many times, and a lot of times in RGB (on digital screen)
so your creation must be also strong in these situations, this may influence you on your designs, and redability of the typography in it.
i see you're a little lost with witch type face to use and colors. i would try to decide the form first, then do some color studies.
