This is the logo that we hope to use for years to come. It will go on the website, brochures, t-shirts and various other marketing and branding pieces.

Wants

- The logo and the type (font) can be separate
- The logo or a part of it must be able to stand alone as an icon – for branding purposes (favicon, email signature, buttons, etc.)
- The graphic should in general be flat, unless there is a good reason for using depth
- Will need to look good in black and white
- Nice to have some picture or some graphic that shows what we do as we grow community businesses.
- Simple and elegant.
- Final design needs to be submitted in JPEG, PNG and Adobe (.ai) and (.eps) files.

Don't Wants

- Try not to be too cliche with the Golden-Gate bridge/Transamerica tower. You can use it if it works for your design, but we're not looking for that type of thing in particular.
- Web 2.0 style design
- Run of the mill logo work - BE CREATIVE!
- Clipart
