Help me put the finishing touches on my business logo

I am in the process of starting a business. I am working with a designer on my site. I came up with my logo idea, sketched it out and developed a digital draft on Fireworks 8. I need someone with graphics experience (some examples would give me a good idea of your style). I would like to be able to modify the files you send back to me with regards to color scheme, font etc. I have Photoshop CS and Studio MX but I am not incredibly knowledgable in either so if it's in a format where I will have to do specific things in those programs, please send me some instructions. I am a fast learner. The logo is for a professional clinic but I want it to be up to date with a subtle "hip-ness" to it. I am in my early 30's and I don't practice in a suit and tie :) What I came up with are the guidelines for what I want the final logo to look like and there are parameters that I want to keep but I am open to suggestions. I need someone to: 1. take the original logo and neaten it up, staying consistent with what I have and keeping most, if not all of the original components (meaning smoothing out all the lines and curves) this should take someone with experience no time at all. 2. come up with a couple of drafts where you have used your experience to tweak the logo a bit. There is some artistic license here but we will discuss the parameters I want to stay consistent. I have been told that for someone who knows what they are doing, this should not take more than a couple of hours. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
