Why are you asking about avatar's in this thread?

no
I can't find it

I am a freelance Quantity Surveyor

all i'll say is then is to maybe jot down:

what sort of look you're going for/how you'd like to be percieved
how your logo will be used/where it would appear (logos can look very different once they've been shrunk down and used as a letter head for example, photocopied and so on)
work out what is most important for you too - the visual impact and so on, because basically, you are selling yourself and the service so your contact details would probably be far more important than anything else
keep it simple
relevance to your job

might well be the "suck eggs" scenario...but its well worth having a little think before you commit to anything...

My own self-brief after analysis of your comments:
• Businesslike
• Contemporary
• Clean
• Echoes of 'bricks & mortar' without being over-stated
• Flexible
• Conveys a graphic device which can be used independently of logotype
• Can be used in all manner of media... also adaptible simply to black and white for various reasons
• Concise, robust and has a feeling that 'you've dealt with Elgin before'—instant credibility
• Professional
• Reliable

wow

You should be a graphic designer!

*oh wait, you are *

I must say that that logo does look really really nice to me and I'm definitely not a surveyor. Nice job Seige!

love it, could i be cheeky and ask you to put limited on it for me please?

I wouldn't recommend it.

Adding Limited isn't a necessity, so long as your company name is mentioned in FULL on your letterheading.

We never ugly a logo by adding Ltd, Inc or whatever—it's not necessary.

The only place you NEED to be using the name in full is on a letterhead, along with company reg no. etc.

So, in short...

No... I won't put Limited on it

Seige,

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated

charge him!
