Logo Design Brief
I need a logo design for my blog LiveLikeTom.com .The logo will be displayed on the website and will also be used for businesscards. The blog is a lifestyleblog, focussing on travel, arts & culture & gay (lgbt) lifestyle.
Currently I am using a design I like and preferrable the colours cyaan, black and white are used in the new design, unless you have a convincing design that proves me wrong.
The font-type I am using right now is ITC FRanklin Gothic, but feel free to come up with another font and feel free to suggest a webfont than the one I am using right now, if you think it is better.
Since the blog targets a male (gay) audience between 25 and 45, it should be manly, stylish and clear. The blog is all about 'no nonsense happiness', whether you travel, go out or if you are looking for other inspiration.
Target Market(s)
Men 25-45 with a gay lifestyle. People who love arts, museums, travel and good food.
Industry/Entity Type

Requirements
Must have
- A manly look and feel, which would not scare off straight guys.
Nice to have
- I like coffee, scuba-diving, traveling, gaypride, pop-culture (Andy Warhol to Kylie) and a healthy lifestyle. My readers have a similar lifestyle. I added some pics of myself too, it might inspire you.
Should not have
- Not too gay please. Rainbow-colours are nice, but My Little Pony is too far off. Rather think stylish, dark or bright coloured, instead of pastel,pink and feminine elements.
