Though an old member on Freelancer, I have only just started using it; so my reputation is down on this site, however, I'm an experienced programmer and UX designer. In relation to this project, I have been using the Adobe graphics suite i.e. photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Flash e.t.c in my work for 6 years now.
I have designed logos for computer companies, architectural firms, organic produce companies, a fashion house, a restaurant, a tourism company among others. I have also done corporate branding for some of my clients.
I understand that you want a logo that will not only capture and attract attention; but will also hold it while showing professionalism and vison clarity.
I haven't used Freelancer.com alot, so my profile is incomplete at the time being, but I'll be happy to provide whatever proof or samples required when requested.
All I'll need from you is your vision for the logo, any theme colour preferences, a slogan if any.
