NEW law firm specialize consumer protection LOGO & BUSINESS CARD

Guardian Law Group, can be shortened to just Guardian Law, or GLG

We are a law firm specializing in credit report correction, mortgage loan modifications, expunging criminal records, transactional law, wills & trusts, litigation involving consumer protection, employment law, business formation, and many other areas. We primarily view ourselves as protecting consumer rights.

We are a smaller company but we anticipate rapid growth. We are not one of the traditional formal overpriced law firms. We believe in quality service at a reasonable price. We plan on using a value-based pricing structure in which we charge a flat fee for each service instead of an hourly rate. This gives our clients comfort in knowing their expenses upfront and that we aren't just running up their bill unnecessarily.

We also may be looking for someone to complete our Joomla website (or start over using another language and system). Contact me at dhester0@gmail.com if you are interested. Make sure you have samples of your work. Our anticipated site will be pretty simple with only 8-9 pages.

We will be targeting a wide and diverse market. Basically 90% of every credit report has incorrect or unverifiable information which is lowering a credit rating. We will first attempt all legal means to have them removed and if they will not remove we will may institute a lawsuit. We also work with distressed homeowners to restructure their mortgage loans to allow them to retain their homes and make lower payments. Our other legal services primarily stem from the above groups needing additional legal services, but we take in new clients with varied needs.

We need a logo that will work for our website, business cards, and letterhead.

I'd like to see at least a few of you try the shield idea, initials, or entire name or just Guardian Law, be creative and see where it takes you. Remember we are a law firm so we need to project strength, honesty, stability, trustworthiness, and confidence. Colors are open. I also like hidden items in logo(not req.).

Please take creative liberties and show me what you can do.

Additional requirements include:
- Vector versions of the logo
- Photoshop version of the logo
- The original file format used (e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, etc.)
- Explain your design when you post. I would like to read about what inspired you to create your design.
- Our name "Guardian Law" or "Guardian Law Group" in a font and style that compliments the design
- Disclose the names of any fonts used so I can purchase them for use in future print or design pieces
- Must look good on a white and black background

We'll be using the following rating system (modified from the GiGiKi and Morgan Lewis contests):
1 star - Wrong direction, start over
2 star - Some elements we like, but it's still a miss
3 star - Interesting concept that needs further refinement. You're getting close but need revisions or a different angle to your design
4 star - A great design. Probably only needs a tweak of color or shading.
5 star - You've made the Final Cut.
