Describe your company and organization and target audience

This is a personal finance blog mostly targeting people in the US between 20 and 50. It is shifting focus to mostly covering investing topics soon. It will become more of a news site than a blog,

The design should have the following

Since I'm taking that site to the next level I want something more professional and corporate looking. The color scheme will be the same but I'm thinking something very clean and simple.

The font should be very clean and smooth...along the lines of the new Google logo (not that exact font).

Since this new logo will primarily be just text it needs some kind of color styling. One option is to just use different color for the first letter of each word or different color for each word. My original thought was to style the first letter of each word with some kind of rounded box around those 2 letters...maybe the primary green of the design with white font. Then use the primary green or maybe black for the other letters.

I'm open to other ideas provided it is very clean and professional.

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

-nothing too distracting
-too many colors
-too much detail

What style of logo would you like?

Colors to use in the design

Green, white and maybe some black, The green should be the same as currently used on the site.
