Logo Design Brief
UPDATE**I am happy with some of the results thus far, but I have yet to find something really powerful, attractive, and innovative. I am not just looking for text formatted in a nice way; I really would like an aesthetic logo that people fall in love with when they see. I thought of the pictorial combination logos on Design Crowd's homepage were excellent.
Hello,
I have recently created a non-profit organization called 'The Deblinger Foundation'. (my last name is pronounced Deb-Lynn-Jer). I am 23 years old, and my father and mother have already passed away from diabetes and cancer, respectively. I founded this non-profit in their honor. While I am still developing its platform, I want this nonprofit to reach and support a broad spectrum of causes through personal donations, collections, local charity events, school drives, etc. This non-profit has already been registered in Florida, and I am now seeking a logo (and soon after a website). I am very open to different logo ideas. I want something clean, attractive and welcoming, but it does not necessarily have to be to the standard norm (I applaud innovation/creativity). As for colors, I am thinking either green and/or blue. I also am interested in pictorial/characters/symbols (people, earth, etc) and not just stylized text.
Thank you,
Matthew Deblinger

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: While there are several serious contenders, I still feel that I haven't fallen in love with any one design.

Target Market(s)
While this is a nonprofit geared towards aiding various organizations/causes, I would love to treat this logo as one that targets a consumer market,aged 20-50. (i.e. something very attractive and catchy).
I love modern, and age range various, but generally a 20-50 age range market.
