This blog needs a logo

Like the headline says. I’ve been thinking about setting up a schwag shoppe, and so I’m going to need a logo. So I’m turning to you, my brilliant readers who (I hope) are far more photoshop-proficient than I am.

Like the headline says.

I've been thinking about setting up a schwag shoppe, and so I'm going to need a logo. So I'm turning to you, my brilliant readers who (I hope) are far more photoshop-proficient than I am. Though I did make my own banner in photoshop, which I think is pretty awesome, if I may toot my own horn. (Of course I can toot my own horn, its my blog!)

So anyway, who wants to make me a logo? If you've been reading my blog, you know the kinds of things I write about. If I pick your design, you will receive glowing praise from me in blog and twitter form, as well as a free item from the to-be-constructed schwag shoppe.

Some notes/guidelines:

  • The logo may - but does not have to - include the words "The Thoughtful Animal."

  • If you do include text, pick a sans-serif font. NO COMIC SANS.

  • I like colors.

  • To be clear, this is for a square-ish logo, not for a new banner.

If you come up with something, email me high-resolution image to:

Thanks!
