Logo Design (Things are getting serious!)

One of the lovely things about residing somewhere in the Etsy community is the warm and fuzzy knowledge that if you can't make something yourself, you are sure to find someone else who can.  Of course, like most things, that first step... admitting that you have a problem, that is, admitting that I actually can't do it myself, is often the hardest.  

I've needed a logo for a good, long time now and kept thinking that I would eventually come up with a brilliant way to create one on my own.  After all, I can draw, paint, and edit photos on the computer.  Creating a good logo can't be that much different, right?

Wrong.  So very, very wrong.  For one thing, my style is highly detailed and depends on these details for visual interest.  Good logos, however, convey the "feel" of a business without too much fuss.  Another big roadblock is my inability to conquer computer graphics programs (there is a reason why I use picmonkey rather than Photoshop to do my photo editing). 

So, the short story is that Meredith from Jack and Molly is going to make a logo for me.  I've already filled out her very long and detailed questionnaire (which was a great study in introspection and a true reflection of how much effort she puts into matching her logo to the business it represents) and am super-excited to see what she does with it!

I'll definitely keep you posted on its progress!
