We need a logo and t-shirt design for our (husband and wife) new California based sailing charter company. The company is "Sail La Vie Charters", the name came from the boats name which is Sail La Vie. We will be selling packages such as sunset cruises, private charters, bachelorette party packages, etc. My husband is a navy diver and a licensed civilian captain. I'm a recreational diver and mermaids are my "spirit animal". We would like to see designs that incorporate the vintage nautical style with a modern twist. We pictured something that included the diver and mermaid with a ship's helm (wheel), compass, nautical line (rope), sailboat and/or anchor. We are open to simple or black and white. I've attached some inspiration that we came across and love the designs of.
