Hello, Job Description: I need a designer to create an eye-catching logo for our family farm and then potentially develop our website. Let's first start with the logo. Our farm name is Willow Tree Family Farm. The logo should meet the following requirements: 1. The dominant colors to use are hunter green, barn red, slate blue, golden yellow, and black (this is a combination of primitive counrty colors). Here is a link to show an example of the color palette. [login to view URL];id=4 2. It can be a combination of images and text or it can lean more heavily in one direction. It must include text that highlights the Farm Name (for branding purposes). 3. It should emphasize farming in a natural sustanable agricultural kind of way. Our main products will be meat (i.e. chickens, eggs, pork, beef, turkeys, lamb, and goat), but we will also provide vegetables, goat milk, honey, and farm made products. The audience will be the surrounding residents and communities, which are generally families. We also want this farm to eventually be a source of farm education and provide camps, tours, etc. 4. Because the name is Willow Tree Family Farm we want to incorporate a Willow Tree, but are also interested in; stars, a barn, the sun, and animals/products we'll offer.
