Hi Basschick.....I am looking for a corporate logo. This is not for the adult space, it is for a real estate company. Do not want it to be cartoonish. Thanks!

I've been through a lot of (non-adult) logo development processes with a number of different designers for several companies from small to pretty large.

If you are looking for something that's a strong, high quality logo that really represents the business (meaning it has elements that in some way imply what the business does, maybe in an abstract way, and looks as professional as any big-company logo you see), it's usually a somewhat involved process... the designer should ask you a bunch of questions about your business, what you do, what's important, etc, and then come back with several very rough concepts, which you refine through 3 or 4 go-rounds.

Depending on what your budget is, I can refer you to an excellent US designer that will get you something you should really be delighted with but it's probably a $500-1000 process.

If you want to do it for, say $100-250, I would recommend spending some time at elance.com, and look at the portfolios of their hundreds of designers. Try to stick with individual designers rather than companies with a bunch of designers, because with those, you have no idea who actually did the logos you like in the portfolio and you probably won't get him or her. Then, when you get some designers whose work you like, create an elance bid and invite those designers to bid on your project. Note that if you're going to budget it at under $200, you will probably not get a US-based designer, which isn't necessarily bad, but they are less likely have the level of experience to go through the sort of logo design process that generally produces the best logo.

That's really longwinded, I hope it helps. Hit me back if any q's.
