I will soon be developing one of my domains and need a professional-level logo for branding. The logo will be for a Bed & Breakfast directory and review site. Featured B&B's will be primarily from the northern, CA region a.k.a. Wine Country. The site name: InnBed - a little play on words... so the logo/illustration should be a bit on the whimsical side, almost cartoon-like, while still maintaining professionalism. Environmental concerns are big in the region, as is wine, so an earth tone color palette may be in order. I haven't decided on a tag-line yet, but if you provide a psd, I can work it in later. Maybe something like... "Find Your Dream Bed & Breakfast Inn Bed" feel free to offer suggestions ;-) I will review submissions until Friday. Please PM me with questions. Thanks!
Thanks Delusionweb. I appreciate the effort, but it's not what I had in mind. The wispy grayish background is too busy IMHO. It needs to be casual, warm and inviting; again, whimsical, even cartoonish... colorful... while possibly expressing something about Wine Country.
Thank you spy100. I like the colors and casual feel of the second attempt. Perhaps the "house" could appear more like an "inn" or bed...
I've used the blue & gold CA state colors, but in more subdued earthy tones. With and without tagline.
