Is anyone any good at designing logos?

So, the (stunningly designed) TOC logo got me thinking that I should have a logo for our farm, which could be put on a few things.

Is there anyone on the board who is at all talented at coming up with a logo? I am definately NOT. :P

I'm not, sadly. But I'd be interested in this too. :yes:
I have one, but it's fairly generic and I'd love for something more unique to put on the farm sign and trailer.

We could have another contest. :lol: Seriously, why not throw out some details on what you are looking for and let everyone have a go at it?

Well, I guess something along the line of the TOC logo.

So something that incorporates the name of the farm (Cherry Blossom Farm) and what we do (hunters or foxhunting).

This has nothing to do with anything, but I LOVE your farm name. :)

I am a graphic designer. If you look at my website you can see examples of my work, including logo and advertisement design. :)

Hmmm SSR

How about a foxhorn with a cherry blossom in the center - simple but elegant

Or a sidesaddle rider going over a jump where the standard is CBF

Fenway, How about a horse jumping in the center of a baseball diamond? (with maybe a teeny redsox logo on his saddle pad).....

or work on the true meaning of Fenway...'an inland area of low-lying marshy land, now often drained and cultivated because of its nutrient-rich soil.'

Lol. That would look very pretty on a sign...
I like the baseball diamond idea. I'd kind of like to incorporate cranberries into it too. It doesn't have anything to do with Fenway but it is my fav symbol of MA. :P

I WAS good, when I had access to photoshop. That's why I didn't submit anything for the TOC logo contest.. I did a logo for my last barn and I'm very proud of it. I wish I still had photoshop!

You've seen my "style" sidesaddleRider. My education pre-dates the use of photoshop, so everything I do is by hand, the it's scanned and edited in a photoshop type program.

I'd be happy to dabble with something, but I won't be able to start working on it until after Rolex (end of April) as I've got too much on my plate!

I'm the strongest in pen and ink technical stuff, not the beautiful graphic designs that Rennie does.

I've done several local logos, t-shirt work, ads.,...
My education was as a medical Illustrator, so if you want anything anatomical, just let me know! :teehee:

Feel free to PM me if you're interested and tell me what you're looking for specifically. I think your farm sign and cherry blossom logo are really nice, SsR and I love your avatar pic. Might make a nice overlay to the cherry blossom on your farm sign??

So...I'm no professional or anything, but since I'm home sick from work today and I was completely bored....I took a stab at it and this is what I came up with.....(its nothing fancy, I promise and I wouldn't be insulted if you hated it either, but thanks for giving me something to do today!!)
I also realize that the image in the middle is distorted because the image size that I got from your website wasn't large enough, but you get the general idea as to where I was going with it!

I wouldn't do anything that complicated - I'd probably just do a plain black hunting horn with cherry blossoms trilling up the side of it. When you're monogramming it onto things, using photos can make things quite difficult.
