Logo+character design

Logo required for future website:- [login to view URL] The site will be used to market hotel management software. and feature details on why the software is the best thing since sliced bread etc etc and screenshots of the program, details of how to download demo etc etc NOTE - website design I can do - THIS IS FOR LOGO AND CARTOONS ONLY I usually like to have the words of the website URL within the actual logo but am open to any ideas. I am open to colour options. I'd also like perhaps 4 cartoon characters:- smiling, astounded, laid back and ...I dunno... "cheery" that I can use to dot about the website ...am VERY open to ideas on this though... it could be a concierge...a butler...a chambermaid... if you're successful bidder you could probably choose but it would be the same character in different poses. The idea I would be trying to get across is that the software will make the hotel manager's day so much easier.... aimed at smaller hotels of up to 50 bedrooms The winning bidder will be able to show me a portfolio of previous work I don't expect anybody to submit actual ideas until I have commissioned the successful bidder. The finished product will be in jpg format plus any other format that a printers may need for stationary/artwork. Happy bidding!
