We have a network of sites that have a zen theme to them. As an example, one of our sites in ContentRoshi, which roshi is equivalent to "zen master" in English and similar to wise old teacher. The site is a content writing service, so it's not a zen related product but we're using the theme for our brand. We're looking for a logo that resembles this with an older animated character of sorts and our brand name. We want this character to be simple. Can be just a face or a whole body in meditation pose. No bright colors, all black would be fine too. We don't want to mock the "roshi" name since it is given in high regard in Zen. We were thinking the circular zen symbol (https://www.google.com/search?q=zen+logo) (https://www.google.com/search?q=circular+zen+symbol) with the animated character inside it, with the brand name to the right would be cool. Excited to see the entries. $30 to the top choice. Thanks!
Name is ContentRoshi (name needs to be editable to our other brand names as well). Symbol is the circular zen symbols seen at that link to Google images. (there is no standard circular zen symbol it seems there are different variations, we like the cleaner and more modern looking ones seen at: https://www.google.com/search?q=circular+zen+symbol) and as far as the elder/older animated character, we're thinking either just a face or a whole body in meditation pose. Up to the designer. We want the character to be simple though. No bright colors. We don't want to mock the "roshi" name so even all black is fine. Definition of the circular symbol: In Zen, ensō (円相, , "circle") is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create.
Our favorite so far has been submitted via private message. It features an animated character's face, with the circle around it, and the "ContentRoshi" brand name to the right of the face/image. If anyone submits another try, could you please follow this format in order to stay competitive? Thanks.
