Contest Brief

I need a resizeable vector logo design that can function as store sign and website banner logo. My store & company is called Serpent Power and it is a dealership for Motorino Electric Vehicles, primarily scooters. Product images at motorino.ca

When not running the shop I am a mysticism teacher (Kundalini is the serpent power) so incorporating a sacred, mystic serpent: Uraeus, naga, orouborus, mayan feathered serpent, tau cross, infinity cobra, etc into the "Serpent Power" store logo would be cool so long as it does not appear satanic to christians. I am Canadian but my store is in a neighborhood with lots of asian emigrants mostly from India, Pakistan.

Sign and header will say:
Serpent Power
Motorino Electric Vehicles (or Motorino Electric Vehicle Dealership)

Serpent Power should be larger.
Motorino is a logo.
Snap of the head office with its "Motorino Electric Vehicles" sign attached (Looks like Diner font)

The store sign is 17.5 inches deep and 93.5 inches wide with a 1/2 inch covered all around the edges (bleed) The sign background is white
The website header background is sky blue #0066CC No border. The website has a white main background and a lime green footer colour #00FF00
The theme is green, as in eco-friendly. Electric scooters make no greenhouse gases.
The motorino logo is specific and attached.
There is also the motorino licence plate logo which is the source of the website colours http://motorino.ca/motorinoxpe.php Note the cute earth symbol on each side.

The winner of this contest will get the additional job of designing the company business cards, letter head and price tags $80.
Look should be elegant and simple, uncluttered and easy to read. No border.

    I have chosen naveen1999's tao of leaves design, the subtlety of the serpent hidden in the negative space is perfect. Many thanks to all who contributed, there were some excellent entries and it was a difficult decision.

      Your designs dont fit the shape of the store sign. If I were selling apple and IBM computers, I would use their respective logos, right? Why reinvent the wheel when they have invested in their logo and brand to benefit promotion.

    Note: I seem to have accidentally changed the proportions on Motorino when I imported it for my sam[

    The shop sign is like you would see on any mini mall, an ugly box on a post divided horizontally into backlit white plastic signs t make a list of the names ff the stores in the mall. Name & logo on each, cut out or printed on sticky plastic sheet and applied as a decal. Same design, without background or border, for the website header logo. Wait for me to upload them...

    I am uploading my sample as a layered psd file and as a png, smaller than my working size of 93.5"x17.5" & 300dpi because its just too big a file. The blue fade is the colour of the website header but it must be borderless. I would use it on the sign only, or something nicer. Also uploading with out it.

    I cannot enter my own contest lol, and somebody has to win this thing. So I am going to help you all along with a clearer idea, doing some of the work for you. Take my sample and make it more beautiful. The font I used to replace "Electric" in the motorino logo to match it with "Vehicles" is called Airstream. The font I used for serpent power is called medusa, its interestingly snakey but I am not attached to it. I have a preference for serif fonts, I like the one Shawon7 used in his last entry.

    and most of them do not have the motorino logo. The ones that do, haven't made an effort to match the fonts and the result is kinda messy. My favourite thing in the whole contest so far is the little cobra s in acmale's entry. Its adorable.

    Looking at the entries so far, I think I was not clear. The logo-header shape is partly defined by the shop sign which is very long and thin at 17.5 inches deep and 93.5 inches wide. Many of the entries are too square. So
