Well, two big things have been keeping me from putting up a website. Permission (long story on that one) and the lack of a good logo. The second reason has been quite an amusing tale as I have learned that those in the graphic arts, even those with talent, are flaky at best. I went through more firms and freelancers than I care to count. Prices varied, and to get a good graphic artist you're going to pay a lot, but money was never the issue... competence, talent, and communication was.
Anyhoo, after much consternation, I finally found someone who seemed to fit the bill. Going with my own personal style, we decided to focus more on a 50'ish rat pack kind of theme. I submit to you, the humble reader some initial drafts of where we're going with this.
Personally, I like the first one best, but have about 1-2 pages of notes for changes.
it's a step forward =-)
