Creative brief

The buyer added updates to the brief. Read them.

Who am I ?
I am 42 year old London based creative, I write, I draw and I make (short) films.
My website is called thegirlinthecafe.com, the title comes from a film that has inspired me. Apart from that you can find me in a cafe (writing) quite often so it fits the bill well. It will also be used as the production name for my short film(s) (i.e. "a thegirlinthecafe production")

What am I looking for?
A logo that I can use on a letterhead, business card and on my website.

Logo Ideas and notes
The logo has to include the name “thegirlinthecafe”.
“thegirlinthecafe” is normally spelled as one word, but feel free to be creative with the words (stack the words on top/beside etc. each other if you like for the logo).
It is fine to include a coffee cup icon or something other cafe-like in the logo but I don’t want it to look like a logo for a coffee shop.

No cheap looking windows media library kind of graphics please.

For colors: have a look at my current website colours. I quite like them but am open for any other suggestions.

The logo has to be modern, minimalistic, professional and easy to read.

Thank you for your time.

I feel like I need to clarify things a bit more - I want the design to be clean, crips and simple. I don't necessarily need it to look like a cafe. If you use any graphics I want them to be simple, minimalistic and stylised (as in clean and simple lines).

Please don't use clipart-like images of chairs of tables. If you want to use things like that please draw them in a minimalistic style.

Keep it clean and simple please.

Thanks!

Seeing as this logo will be used on a businesscard/letterhead etc. it would be most practical to keep it as horizontal as possible.

Thanks!

Please don't add any form of image of a girl to the logo.

Thanks.
