Overview:
Basic Logo or simple design but one that must look 'super professional, clean, fresh and classy.
Specific Design:
The design is to include;
i) my name - Mark Bunn
ii) possibly my initials - i.e. MB
iii) the byline - Eastern Wisdom for Western Health (maybe in italics)
iv) possibly the web address - markbunn.com.au (can be quite small at bottom somewhere but if it makes it 'too busy' leave it out or send one version with it on & without it)
Design Ideas:
1. See Short Video here for 'quick overview' - http://screencast.com/t/W7LHPWWK
2. see www.andrewmay.com http://www.mattchurch.com/ & www.dradamfraser.com for similar names/logo’s at the top of the their websites (that we like & want similar in terms of 'professionalism'
3. To get a little of the Eastern wisdom idea without being too non-corporate you can try using 'Papyrus' font or similar - e.g. PLEASE SEE the LOGO/LOGO TEXT at TOP of http://www.rezinate.com.au/
We quite like this, so maybe do something similar (can even do 3 little colour boxes lik e on this site to represent MIND, BODY & SPIRIT.
4. using the Yin Yang symbol (or subtle idea of yin yang) may also be worth a try
Colours:
are to be the same as those on the attachment - HAA_Logo - but can add in other bright,fresh colours if doing the little boxes as outlined above etc)
Images:
Images we use in our business generally, include ‘a WAVE on the ocean’ & ‘an early morning SUNRISE’. However, I'm not sure we need want such images (might make it too 'busy') so feel free to do without any images as such or if you want to try to incorporate either one of these into the design, that's ok as a trial thing (you never know).
Look & Feel:
While we would like to convey a small sense of 'Eastern Wisdom' (IE yin-yang) in the design, the overall look & feel is to be
- fairly 'corporate' in nature
- highly professional - fresh, simple & clean
- convey style & sophistication & maybe a bit of dynamism/health
The Business It's For:
My business involves health/work-life balance coaching, books etc, with a bit of an eastern wisdom (Ayurveda) touch.
Thanks a lot - look forward to your designs
