Logo Design Contest

Happy NEW year! Galloping Goats Farm is changing. The goats have all gone on to new homes and I am feverishly working to tie up loose ends while also starting new ventures. Since I will no longer be a goat herd owner and I have officially changed the name on my business license and my website I NEED a new logo.  I will still be making soaps and some of them will still be goats milk soaps but some will be different (more to come on that later) I will also be making journals. They will be completely done by hand. I have been learning about book binding and gathering supplies, tools and equipment. I can't wait to get started.

If you know of someone who might be interested in joining in please spread the word.

The name? Slightly Askew Studios. The logo; you can check out my not so old logo over on the right for the color scheme I have been using. It's a little different than what I have been using in real life simply because of the difference in the way color looks on my monitor verses when it is printed out.  I am not married to the colors but it would be nice not to have to buy all new table coverings for my market tables, which are mainly aqua and blue with a little purple thrown in for good measure.  Think whimsical, artsy, a little goofy and fun. Submit your entry by email at wiggins_6@msn.com unless you all know how to post them in the comments. I can't seem to figure out if that's possible. I will give lots of feedback along the way. I will run the contest for one week. Next Thursday I will pick a winner and send that person a box of my products. I don't want to put an exact value on it but those who know me know that I am a generous person; those who don't know me will have to trust me to make it worth your while. Please don't submit someone else's clipart; this has to be a logo designed by you that I can use copy write free in my business.

Thanks Brenda, no takers yet on the design though.

I wish I was a better artist! You have a really great idea with the logo contest though, I might have to borrow this idea in the future as my farm still needs one. Hope you get a great one, your old logo was very cute!

Well, it was a nice idea but I got no entries. I guess I needed to have more readers. I hired the awesome person who did my last logo to do my new one as well so stay tuned, it will be appearing any day now.

Hi Shannon~ Just wanted to let you know that I took my name off of the followers list because the GallopingGoats.blogspot is now coming in with some goofy airline blog on my reader list.... not sure why. Happy soapmaking! Terri
