Simple Logo and Icons for Web Site

We are looking for a top notch graphic designer to do a logo and some icons. Please include a simple sketch of your logo idea with your bid based on the concept description below. Also, please send links to your portfolio so that we can see some other work you have done. A description of the service provided by and the general look and feel we're going for is below. We want a quick, creative sketch, not a finished logo with your bid, so that we can find a designer who has the same vision we do. Our company provides a service that lets our customers call a number and speak into their phone. Customers can dictate notes, thoughts, etc., or use our extensive personal assistant services. Our service gives anyone with a phone the power to be WAY more productive than ever before. What we are looking for: We are going for a look that is modern and edgy andalso very friendly. Our service is VERY simple to use, you just dial a toll free number and start speaking. Our website must be just as simple and just as friendly. We like the look of [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] and consider those both to be a good combination of friendly, colorful, and edgy. Please sketch out a logo that you think captures what we're doing and submit it with your bid. A scanned pencil sketch is fine, as is a rough digital drawing. We just need enough detail to see the idea, approve it, and move the project along to the next phase. Also, a sketch of your vision for the homepage (as described in part 3) is also requested, including how your logo will work with it. Once again, please include your sketch and portfolio link with your bid. In skilled hands, this project will not take long. We are looking to find a designer or company we can turn to for our ongoing graphic design needs. Will pay $50 bonus if work is up to the high standard we are looking for. We are easy to work with and respect your skill and hard work. ## Deliverables Note: After the project begins we will give you the name of the product and some helpful details about the service we offer. Part 1: Logo After we approve your bid we'll want a finished version of the logo in three sizes. Part 2: Icons We need icons: We love the icons on blogger's homepage. They are big, simple, colorful and clear. We need icons for the following: captured idea, note, appointment, book idea, address book entry, email, task/to-do, diary entry, blog entry, personal goal, preferences, recording that can be played back, billing, and two or three others. We'll need a small and large version of each icon. Part 3: Homepage CSS and buttons. We need a home page that is friendly and rounded and modern, something good enough to match the logo. Please design a page with CSS and possibly incorporating any of the above icons along the lines of the [login to view URL] homepage. We need a simple "take a tour" button, as well as a 1, 2, 3 signup area and login fields. This project allows the designer some degree of creative freedom. In fact we are looking for a someone with a creative eye to do a great and professional job on this. With the design work, we'll want to see a preliminary version so that we can approve it and suggest minor changes before the final version is completed. We will also provide more detail about the service, etc., after the bid has been accepted. The [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] sites are examples of the quality level we are looking for. ## Platform we would like both the original source images (gimp, photoshop, illustrator, whatever program you use) and PNG images.
