Massage Therapist Logo needed

[jasonfranck]

Hello all,

My wife is in the process of opening her own business and we are still in the infant stages of web design so I dont have a site to post other then the In progress page
www.akneadformassage.com

We are looking for something simple, the site will have earth tones, something using hands on a back giving a massage would be perfect.

This logo will be used on the header of her website when done, on business cards and stationary so clean design would be amazing.

Im sorry I cant offer any other ideas but I dont have a creative bone in my body.

I have attached two images that she likes to give help and direction. They dont have to be the images used just wanted to get the idea accross,

Thank you in advance for your help to all who read this.

Jason

A Good Massage is the most relaxing thing in the world - don't know what I do without my wife's magic hands.
Just to let you know Jason I am not one of the graphic artists, but I'm tring to learn so I dabble in the art, which usually gets one of the real artists going. I sould say I mainly do coding and websites.
You didn't give much to go on and if someone makes you a logo, you will have to build your site around it. Anyway here is my febble attemp. From here you can add more ideas to work with.

Thank you for the start. It has allowed a visual represintation to my wife. After looking at these she had some feedback that might help.

She likes the black font however is not thrilled with the picture due to inproper client positioning. The picture on the left is correct hand placement.

Having her name is something she is not interested in having on the logo at all.

So maybe more like the right but without that picture. or text that is within the picture.

Instead maybe a differant picture?

Thanks to all again in advance.

So she likes the style of the one on the right, but not the picture (only a masseuse whould see that) and the text style and color. Leave out the name. What about the different types of massage or anything is there anything else that needs to go in. We are still having bad rain here and my internet connetion is off and on so this nights correspondence maybe spotty at best, even my email server is feeling it.

I have to ask - In terms of marketing wouldn't you want someone who has a smile on their face. Imagine the treatment is at it's end the client has moved her body to a position which will allow her to further the enjoyment as she restfully lies for a few precious moments.

however is not thrilled with the picture due to inproper client positioning

If you can find some pics please let me know as there are several paid photos but not many royalty free images. Post the links.

would this picture be appropriate for the body position.
i was tring to find one with arms back and a look of enjoyment on the face.
