Graphic Design Brief
I need a logo design for a new executive/personal coaching business that I am starting up. The name of my business is "Nick Doulias Performance Coaching". This business works with people to explore their dilemmas to find solutions to become more productive and achieve positive results in their work and lives in general. I want the design to inspire people and exude confidence, hope and empowerment so that people can dream big and move forward with their goals and vision. I would like the picture (which is of me) to be some type of watermark in the logo (ie. as a faded background or in the middle) and besides the name of the business include the words inspire-motivate-empower and excellence in the tag line. Ideally I would like the colors to stand out.
