The client sent us a hand drawing (shown below). They were reasonably happy with this logo, but wanted to see a couple of variations of the theme they came up with and then needed the logo in a high quality digital format for printing.

Once we had the shape and font sorted out, we experimented with a number of color combinations and different gradient fills before finalizing it.

When we finalize a logo, we always include a couple of gif files (different sizes) with the background set to transparent. This is handy for inserting the logo in your web site when the site background is something other than white.
