Logo For Marketing/Business Coaching Startup (GUARANTEED)

ProfitStacking.com is a marketing and business coaching startup that educates its clients on the most effective ways to increase their profits.

I'm looking for a simple design with an unique, iconic image next to our name and tagline.

I *LOVE* the illustrated style of the logos for the services at http://37signals.com

I can't wait to see the great designs you create!

ProfitStacking.com

ProfitStacking.com is going to educate small business owners on how to make more money in their business and teach 'wanna be' entrepreneurs how to start a business with the best chance for success.

It's going to be a fun place, where visitors and clients will be entertained while they are educated. I'm a real person dispensing real information. No stuffy "corporate-types" here.

I enjoy helping people, and I LOVE talking about effective marketing strategies, ways to automate a business, and how to maximize profits.

I'd like a logo that I can be proud to put on my business cards... something simple, yet memorable.

Here are a few ideas...

Logo Image: large stack(s) of money or US dollar sign

- Example: I absolutely *LOVE* the way this money looks!

Font Face: san serif are preferred

Text Color: black, green, orange, red, dark blue

- Background color will be black or white
Size: not too tall; maybe between 80 and 100pxFeel free to submit multiple designs, with different fonts, colors, and location of the logo... It's strongly encouraged.  :-)

- Site Name: ProfitStacking.com
- Tag Line: More Traffic! Better Conversions! Bigger Profits!
- Super clean and sharp... think http://37signals.com
- Simple, yet memorable
- Fresh, fun, web 2.0-like
- Thick lettering
- Polished... a little shading goes a long way
- A file I can open up and edit in Photoshop (v5, I think) or Fireworks MX

- No Clipart Please (See the example above for the right look.)
- Nothing Flat (The image and text should have depth and thickness.)
- Nothing Plain (It should have a unique style.)
- Not Corporate Or Boring (It should be open, friendly and fun.)
