Below are some points to consider when working on the logo:
- Preferably lowercase

- San serif font

- Softer / more sophisticated colors (no bold colors). There is flexibility in the choice of colors used; the logo doesn't need to be the orange used on site. Please use no more than three colors max.

- The palm leaf symbol used throughout the site is a theme which could be transferred to the logo, although a different palm leaf may work better than the one we have for the site background.

- A stylized vector earth concept may work, although the palm leaf is more of an eartheasy trademark.

- Simple - Less is more. "Busy" logos are not wanted. Simple and sophisticated is best.

- No "glass floor" or other shiny effects please. This logo should be professional yet friendly. Target market = middle aged homeowners with families. Don't think "hippy" think "Martha Stewart".

- No 3D logos

- Work slogan into logo if possible: "Ideas for Environmentally Sustainable Living" - slogan can be all caps if it works with lower case title of "eartheasy"

- Working nature into logo somehow would be nice, if it's doable elegantly.
