I drew my own logo freehand and came up with a cool design (I don't have a scanner at this moment or I'd show you) -- it's an oval with a bottle at the bottom and a tree growing out of the top of it. On either side of the tree (the bottle is under the ground) is a person and one has his/her arms stretched out and the other has his/her arms clasped to his/her chest as though receiving something.

5) Requested size of your logo:
Large enough so that I can use it alongside a title for my website and have the ability to scale it down for smaller projects.

6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
I don't unfortunately

7) What logo styles do you like (text only, image only, text and image, etc.)?
I am open to a lot of different styles. I like eclectic and "abstract" work too.

8) What colors do you want to see in your logo?
I am totally open to a rainbow of colors.

9) What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
N/A

10) Describe the target audience for your logo
People interested in supporting their community, reducing waste, and using their creative mind -- late adolescence through late 30's, eco-minded parents, and green-thumb pet owners.

11) What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?
Products created from waste bring people and communities together.
Waste products can find a second new life.
Our products inspire innovation and self-sufficiency.

12) Where will your logo be used (print, website, etc.)?
Website, product tags, and print materials.

13) Do you have other info or links you want to share?
This is the wordpress site right now (still heavily under construction
http://revivethis.wordpress.com/

14) Finally we need is there a style font you prefer, please let us know.
No Comic Sans!! I like garamond and times fonts. I can't remember what font I used for the banner image on the wordpress page but I like that too. Again, I'm really open to aesthetically pleasing images


Thank you so so much! Let me know if you need help with website content or other writing projects!

 

Wow, love the colors and design of that tree! My only thought is that this might be difficult to replicate into different mediums -- the font might be hard to read?

I found some other graphics similar to what I'm looking for -- it just took me a while to find some. Don't know if this is helpful? I'm really new to this process so if I'm being a newb I apologize in advance

@ishkey -- Hah! It's all about perspective it seems!

@Covert -- Love the colors and how you incorporated the leaf! Does the logo software have anything tree-like? I guess I'm stuck on the whole "tree" concept lol. And no, I don't go around hugging them.... at least not in public.
