New logo - icon

Client: Home Workforce (employment site) Requirement: New site icon and text logo (see attached) Deadline: Urgent (this week) This tired-looking web site requires a makeover. The first step is to replace the existing logo and icon (see attached). Please attach a rough mockup of your proposed design to your PM, to help us choose the winning bidder. Please take the following into consideration when formulating your design: - Final copies will need to be provided in gif and/or png - for use on the site. We also require a larger format (prefer gif and AI/PDF) to reproduce on business stationery. - This is an employment web site, specialising in work-from-home positions. It would be good if the icon made reference to this (See existing logo). - Design should be slick, high impact, stylised (but still sensible and easy to read). - Design should include text (Home Workforce) and logo/icon. - We are going for a more modern 'web 2.0' kind of look, but still want to avoid all the usual cliches - stars, stripes, ellipse, drop shadow and Nike-style 'swoosh'. Feel free to ask questions via PM, and we will respond as quickly as possible. Thank you for your time. Best of luck with your bid. JDWEB
