Yggdrasil Designs

Describe your company and organization and target audience

I make woodworking crafts and projects and am in need of a logo for my online stores and business cards. Most items are made on a lathe - pens, kitchen utensils (bottle openers, knife handles) etc, but also cutting boards, serving trays and assorted trinkets/ small toys. My primary mediums of choice are wood and epoxy/resin

The design should have the following

Yggdrasil is the "tree of life" in Norse mythology. There are many traditional depictions of the tree (if you google it you will see many similar designs) in a circular pattern, tree in the center, roots on the bottom, branches spread across the top. I am open to other options, but ideally the logo should invoke this design however it should not be so simple as to be indistinguishable from any of the traditional designs (there's just too many already).

My primary product is handcrafted wooden ink/fountain pens, it might be a nice touch to incorporate this into the design, but since it's not the only thing I'll be making hopefully won't be the primary focus of the logo.

This logo will be used for

  • Online (Website, facebook etc.)
  • Print (business cards, letterheads, brochures etc.)

This design should not have this in the entries

Please avoid use of "Viking' or Norse runes unless you are very clear on and can explain their exact meaning. I do not want runes for the sake of flavor and do not want words or phrases attempted to be spelled

What style of logo would you like?

Colors to use in the design

I am open to other options but initially I see it with basic earthy colors (green/brown) or simple black/gray + white
