Logo Revamp

I need a revision made to my very plain logo. I bought my current logo because I needed something fast. I am looking for a talented artist who can brand my company with a unique, original logo that visually positions me as an expert - A Lifestyle Coach. _UPDATE - Oct 03, 2005: _I have been overwhelmed with people who want to take on my project. I think in the end it is going to come down to what concepts each of the proposed coders can come up with. I think this is the most effective way for me to make some initial decisions about who I'm going to make my final choices. Check out my current web site ([[login to view URL]][1]) for colors, fonts and general feeling that I want to maintain. My business is centered on the coast of Southern California, specifically Laguna and Newport Beaches. I want to keep this consistent. *Core client base* - men and women - 20 to 60 *I have two specific niches*: - Chronic Health Conditions - Weight Loss/Weight Loss Surgery. The biggest challenge for any designer will be the fact that the name of my business is "Positive Coaching." Most graphic artists that I have worked with, either want my logo to look like the Red Cross symbol or a religious Cross. Some have even tried a *spark* as their metaphor for the scheme for positive changes. I was open to the idea, but the execution was yet to be desired. Basically, I am looking for an image that incorporates the feeling of the West Coast, and represents what my company is called. Please supply me with either a written proposal with your ideas (specifically written out) or attaching ideas similar to your potential design concepts. Thank you. ## Deliverables 1) If needed, I will have complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): Upon approval of my chosen logo design, I will receive all files via a viewing page or sent email with attachments.
