Logo - Online Arts and Crafts Community Project

CreatingTheHive (The Hive)

We're in the process of building a brand new online resources for the arts and crafts community. This site will be a place for members to connect, share their experiences, and their creations.

Members of the arts and crafts community which may vary from doll makers, knitters, jewelry makers, wood workers etc. The age range is fairly extensive and while the majority of the audience will be female it's, important that the logo also appeals to the male audience to.

Members of the community may be individuals, professional crafters, retail stores or companies.

Attached is a hand drawn logo that can serve as a starting point for inspiration in creating the logo, but please be freely creative, we are looking for new ideas.

The website will be CreatingTheHive.com but the client wants to brand the site as The Hive, so the logo should probably include the website name to help avoid confusion.

I don't have a particular color scheme in mind but it should be something that really stands out and is not dull (bright colors)

Some websites the client has picked out as liking the color scheme and look of.
