    What's up?

    I need a logo & favicon design for the blog Writing Whale. (http://www.writingwhale.com). The design must meet the following criteria:

    • MUST match the colors of the site
    • MUST use an illustration of a whale
    • MUST be delivered in a layered PSD
    • MUST be 100% original work
    • MUST have the tagline "information for beginning freelance writers"
    • MUST include a favicon design
    • DO NOT use drop shadow, reflections, or heavy gradients

    The best design wins. I'm looking forward to your entries!

    Will create a favicon if you like the design :) Image is fully vector. Watermark included (the vertical fluctuating lines).

    @laxj11

    I like the fonts but Writing Whale needs to be one line and I'm not a fan of the whale illustration.

    @jhaye

    Please change the tagline to "Information for Beginning Freelance Writers" and make the whale's color match the website.

    @tanmay.kamath1992
    That's not really what I'm looking for.

    @good designer
    Can I see it without the bubbles?

    @TheGraphicsGuy

    Love the fonts, but the image doesn't really fit...

    @uanl_82

    Can you simplify the whale some?

    @pspro

    It doesn't look professional enough as far as fonts and images are concerned.
