LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are a website, www.stangardnermd.com, that provides readers with healthy alternatives to drugs and surgery, and gives ideas to attain dynamic health and energy. We launched in July of this year and are preparing to take the concept to the next level with providing greater benefits and preventive, integrative ideas for optimal wellness.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a logo that conveys a medical-type image (obviously not pills or potions--more like a healthy apple), that is readily identifiable, and is unique in concept. The logo will be used on the site, as well as in contacts with readers and in our submitted and printed articles and materials. One concept we came up with was an atom surrounding an apple--just as a springboard idea. Please come up with your own creative brainstorms as well! We're open to anything that's terrific and we've seen a lot of it here, so have at it. Parameters are:

Format: vector (no gradients or 3D shading please)

Design: custom, professional, clean

Colors: 1-3; not more than 3

Palette: color and/ or black/white

Website: www.stangardnermd.com (optional)

Slogan: healthy alternatives to drugs and surgery (optional)

Name: Stan Gardner, M.D. (optional)

Logo should be able to be easily reduced in size and still be identifiable

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

the whole world! Seriously, we'd like to get this message out to everyone, but mainly healthy-minded individuals who want to take the best possible care of their body. This is the site with the doc who has the answers to achieving dynamic health and energy.... People need a trusted medical doctor who looks at healthy options before writing a prescription--they'll pour over millions of so-called "cures" on the internet, but don't know where to go to get real answers. This is the right place for them.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

clean, healthy, medical-type. We'll keep you posted on the ones that appeal the most, and tell you why. We'll also give you feedback on what to tweak.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

*please, no cartoon-type stuff

*please also make sure we can duplicate the font legally, whatever style you use

*we'll update as entries pop up and keep you posted on what works well and what we'd like to see done differently

We LOVE what we've seen you do! What an amazing group of artists! We can't wait to see what you'll do with this.
