Create an eyeball grabbing logo for David Jehlen

David Jehlen

David Jehlen is a speaker and direct response marketing strategist who helps other speakers, coaches and consultants to sell more of their products and programs.
After 20 years working in an industry and building a business that he hated. David had a gut check, put on his big boy pants and walked away to start the business he really wanted…helping small businesses to uniquely position themselves, create a stand out message and then deploy that in all of their marketing efforts.
He’s written direct response copy for Brian Clark of Copyblogger, Angela Lee, Dr. Mollie, Michael Port and countless super-cool business owners you’ve probably never heard of. He worked personally with Michael Port for over 2 years helping him to create and launch his mentoring program. David was one of his 2 top trainers.

I'd like to explore the following colors:

Dark neutrals: Formality, mystery, exclusivity and luxury.
Let designers make suggestions:
Purples: Imagination, spirituality, royalty and luxury.

I want an edgy, yet high-end look. You can see my current site at http://davidjehlen.com. I have new pictures with me losing the suit and wearing mostly short sleeve shirts that also show my tats. I've uploaded a recent sponsorship ad to give you a better idea. At the top, you'll also see my current logo. Below are 2 sites with names as logos. Nick's is probably not masculine enough. I like Lewis' but obviously need something original.
