Unfortunately, this is a rather complex logo being that it has more than one element involved. Being that the project is not guaranteed, there are very few people that will take on this project at that price. This is unfair to you because you will not get many designs to choose from. (Just a FYI in case you are new to DesignCrowd)

Oh just one more thing.....If you keep the submissions open for everyone to view, you will get an enormous amount of copycat designs. Keeping the submissions hidden will force designers to come up with original themes/ideas.....which is what you are really paying for. I mention all of this to you being a former fellow Californian (Sacramento) because I want you to have an original and creative design that is one of a kind.

HI! Thanks for the advice. We are new here. We just don't have any $$ and every addition to the design job (privacy etc.) was going to add more costs. I'd actually tried to download CS5 and try to teach myself some simple graphics. A friend told me about this site so we pooled together the $200 to try to do this because there are so many talented people here on the site. Thanks again!

Okay, I completely understand.....have been in that predicament many times in my life, so I can feel your pain. Don't give up though, "no pain, no gain"

I'll see what I can come up with for you. Consider it my way of 'paying it forward' . You don't want to use Photoshop unless you know how to draw very well. In the future you may want to check out: "Logo Design Studio Pro", you need "0" talent and get remarkable logos out of it. I have created several of mine using it and I love it when I need to make a quick logo for a friend, etc.

You will have to give me some more details about your company later on and I will get you some free publicity on Twitter and Facebook. Love the company name, very unique. That in and of itself is sure to grab people's attention.

Thank you for the invitation to design your logo! I already have some ideas I'm excited to explore. Do you have a color palette in mind? Are there any colors to avoid? And, do you prefer serif or sans serif fonts?

Thanks again!

hi! Thanks so much! SO exciting! Starting a whole new life and career and this logo is the very beginning of it!! I think that i prefer Sans serif fonts but don't want to hold you to that if there is a font that you love. I'd rather stay away from too much black if possible. Burgundy for red wine perhaps? Not sure. I chose you because i LOVE your peaceful families project logo. So simple yet really compelling. Beautiful work!!!! Thanks and have a wonderful weekend! Kaethy

Thanks for the feedback Kaethy! I just kicked out one design and used a dark red which seems to work very well. I'll upload that soon! I'm sure you're so excited to see what comes in. :) This is always such an exciting process! I love turning people dreams into graphic reality.

PS. LOVE the name of the business & tagline! Great job with that-that's half the battle.
