Do you want the name included in the the logo predominately? (OR) a logo "stamp" that can be used with or without the name -- think Nike and the swoosh. I like the idea of a logo stamp to be available for special use, but we will probably need the name included. I envisioned the following logos: 1. A symbol or abstract drawing that represented recycling/reforming and working together. 2. Creatively combining or layering the letters. 3. Colors – I like pastels and colors that work good together. Nothing too bold like black and yellow together. 3. Be creative I’ll know what I like when I see it. 7. What are the uses of the logo? Any use outside of the scope of typical usage (i.e., signage, shirt embroidery/silk screening)? 1. Logo for Letterhead, business card, website, pamphlet. 2. Letterhead and Business Cards – (need a basic design for both, also word document template for letterhead) 3. Logo should be in a format that is transferrable to a word document or any application and should have a transparent background. Format: AI, high quality applications

- Good subtle mix of colors - an application for letterhead, word document letterhead template, business cards and pamphlet - Will also be used for Website

- I do not like bold and offensive colors like black and yellow together
