Logo Design Brief
I recently opened a salsa dancing school in Chattanooga, TN. I have used my old logo for sometime, but feel it is time to improve it. I would like something that will replicate well on t-shirts, websites, and flyers. It may just be a unique font and arrangement of "G2G Salsa" or G2G Salsa with a graphic. I do NOT want it to have a "ballroom dancing" look with formal dancers. Maybe incorporate a Latin musical instrument like bongos, congas, or timbales. It could possibly display an old Havana feel. The image could have a cartoon look as well, I am open to ideas. The final design should communicate a fun and modern look. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I would like to thank all who have participated so far in my project. After sharing my images with friends and family, I have decided to extend the contest an additional 5 days. Although there were several great Ideas, none were exactly what I was looking for. I am hoping the extended time will allow for additional ideas / concepts to come forward. Thank you again!

Requirements
Must have
- Unique font and originality. A custom look. All images should be on a black background (Our shirts will be black).
Nice to have
- An image that represents salsa music or dancing (congas, bongos, timbales). I would also be open to a cartoon character of some sort ( maybe a wolf, fox, or some other animal, possibly dressed in a white suit, leaning on the "G" of G2G). Something that might differentiate me from other salsa schools. I am open to ideas!
Should not have
- Ballroom dancers or stick figures of dancers.
