As you may know, if you follow the blog semi-regularly, we are currently taking the "Grow Your Small Market Farm" class up in Ames. So far we have had four classes (I had to miss one, but I was able to listen to a recording) and each one has been a treasure trove of information. But, besides the classes each week we have homework that deals with creating a business plan for your farm and so much more. I have found the homework thought provoking, interesting, and even difficult at times ... and I love it! But, I do need some help (that is nothing new when it comes to me and homework).
In a session coming up pretty soon we are going to have a guest speaker focusing on things like brochures, advertising things, and farm logos. That is where I could use some help. Above is a what I guess is our "text logo". It is something that my wife's cousin did for us when he made the website and I think it is great. But, what I would like to have in conjunction with that is some sort of "image" logo. Something like the one for Sugar Creek Farm, Caw Caw Creek, the grass for Prairie Lakes Church, Nature's Harmony Farm's circle logo, or even Polyface Farm's tree to an extent.
You know ... I want something fun, fresh, and hip that reflects our pasture raised beef, pork, and poultry. A pretty tall order huh!?!
Of course we are fooling around with a few things, but I'm always open for suggestions. If you have any ideas no matter how silly you think they are I would love to hear them. All I know is that if we just rely on my artistic ability we are in trouble...
