 Logo 
  $850 
A logo is the cornerstone of your identity. We research (no copyright violations for you). We listen to you. We research your audience. Next, we create a few different logo "mockup" concepts for you to look at. You choose the one you like the best. Finally, we flesh out the logo based on your input.
