Need a logo. $50 Quick and easy.

    I need a logo for my website. I am buying a template and I need to replace the existing template logo.

    Here is the template, FunkyFresh: http://www.completevb.com/demovb4/forum.php?styleid=6

    The name of my site is 'TheCableVine' without the quotes of course.

    Here are the details of how I want the logo to look.

    1. the first part of the logo will have a line with a pulse graphic. A pulse is basically a line with a bump in the middle. Examples can be seen at this site: http://cnx.org/content/m35714/latest/ The line/pulse will be white with a slight shadow effect (if needed) to contrast it with the light blue background. The actual pulse itself should be about 1/4th to 1/3rd the length of the line. __A__ The 'A' being the pulse. The pulse will be centered. The thickness of the line that makes up the line/pulse should be a little thicker than the font used in the word 'Fresh'. This graphic will be the the background of the logo.

    2. Layered on top of the line/pulse graphic will be the word TheCableVine. It should match the word Fresh in the templates generic logo. I like the color of the word fresh with the white border. I like the font and font size. The font could be just a hair thicker but it looks okay the way it is as well.

    Please ask me any questions you need. I tried to be as clear as I could to make it easy for whoever wanted to tackle the job.

    This is an easy one. No thinking involved. I'm just not capable of doing it myself. I will let this go for a day or two to see the quality of work that comes in. I'm turning this website into an online magazine so it has to look good and not amateurish.


    Thanks
    Steve

    Here is a very rough idea of what I'm thinking.

    cablelogo.jpg

    Please make the word thecablevine bigger in proportion to the pulse. make them both the same length and the top of the pulse should be the same height as the letters and the bottom of the pulse should be even with the bottom of the letters. sorry I didn't draw it that way.

    Thanks
    Steve

    That looks more like what I'm thinking of. Maybe if the letters were taller so it covered up more of the pulse. So the pulse isn't so dominant in the logo.

    Not too keen on the dot in the 'I'.

    The shape of the pulse is a specific shape. If you look at the website I linked to in the original post you will see what shape a pulse is. This is a mathematical representation of an electronic signal. These shapes are also called parabolics or parabolas. So they can't be round. See this site as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola
