Logo Idea or Help:
I have attached a copy of a Loon preparing for flight.
The company logo will require some creativity and an artist.
We would like an outline of the included picturre, not the actual picture. Using blacks, and greys as the outline elements against a white background. Perhaps a single splash of red on the Loons breast for color. The silouette of the Loon should be very flowing, and capture the silouette in a line trace or sketch rather than just a picture. We envision that the silouette of the Loon would extend down, and eventually form the resulting ripples in the water of a Loon taking flight. Swirls representing water. The outline or sketch of the Loon should be easily detectable as the outline of a Loon. The Loon is easily distinguished by the head and beak. The Loon is a bird that lives its life on the water, and is a symbol of solitude, and serenity.
We would then envision that the name of the company would be then integrated perhaps into the swirls forming the representation of the water beneath the Loon. The letters would not be strewn or swirled, but rather cohesive and direct, but again, following the nature and color or the logo design. The company name should be clearly laid out, "ValSam Enterprises, LLC" with an "Est. 2005", respresenting the date of company formation. Overall, I would think the logo would be made up of just a few colors, in the area of 3-6 total, but that is just me, will leave it up to the graphic artist.
The reason for putting the logo sketch on a white background will be for easily incorporating the logo into print media, ie; letterhead, business cards, etc. at a later date.
