    Well, the guitar looks a bit pink, and it would be "Rockin' the Pen", since you used the image of a pen. Not BAD, but not necessarily what I was looking for.

    Well, thank you, at least, for trying. When I said "Rockin' the Pen" I meant the text, you would have to put a pen in there. If you could size it down into a 125x125, I might be able to use it in one of those block ads, then.

    Hey TightWad, thanks for your entry, but I see a lot of clashing styles in the logo. Now, I know that a guitar and any writing instrument is a mental clash, but I don't want it to appear that way.

    xluciusx, could you make the guitar paint more red, and change the wording to "Rockin' the Pen", not just "Rockin' the". If that looks good, I'll pay you, and we'll talk about the background (nothing hard, just a gradient or some stripes, or both).

    Yeah, that's sweet! Can we try it with the pen still underneath the catch phrase? I'm going to extend this until There's something I absolutely fall in love with, but don't worry there will be a winner, and they will get paid. I'm waiting for a couple of people who have asked me to wait for their designs, but this one is in the lead right now.

    Also, for those of you who are putting an image in the catchphrase, I want the actual word there, like renderwork, I'd love to see that with the word pen in there, since that's the image you chose.

    Way to flashy for me, I might like it minus the blue oval, and start though, can I see it without them?
