Contest $50 Design Contest - For a Blacksmith - Paypal - URGENT

Okay so we're looking for a logo design for a Blacksmith.

This NOT a farrier - so don't work with horses. Instead a traditional artist blacksmith.

The business name is: Soulful Iron

So this is an urgent one - 3 days max with extra time for final tweaks for right person. I say 3 days max, as if we find a perfect logo sooner, we may end sooner.

NOTE: This is a new business, so no defined font or colour scheme as yet. So... let's see what you come up with

 

Thanks both of you

I prefer the images by 3SS so far - it's cleaner & less cluttered

Waiting for more submissions though, but so far, so good - Thanks

 

my try

 

I quite like this one, except:

1) Can't see what he is holding on the anvil - Maybe best if it's just a flat bar instead of something shaped, as when smaller would look better. I think this would make it look less messy?

2) Not sure about the red, kinda looks like he's murdering someone hahaha (like he's beating on a leg bone or something!).

3) Unsure of this one, but maybe if the hammer wasn't held quite so high?

I like the idea though. You got the hight of the anvil right too, which is good.

 

Looking forward to hearing back
