Money Lender/Lending Logo Creation

**IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE YOU BID!!!** We are looking for a logo to be designed by a creative and savvy graphic designer, but due to the overwhelming responses received on Freelancer, please be sure to provide the following: 1) Whatever you bid, if chosen as the freelancer...that is what we will hold you to for price - NO BAIT AND SWITCHING 2) Respond with your IDEAS for concepts based on our notes below. Blanket proposals will be ignored. The only way we can properly choose a freelancer is if we can see that they can think outside of the box and are on the same page. 3) While not required, we of course appreciate any rough design submissions to show off your work. Now...about our company: Name of the company is Monster Lending Inc. The company purpose is to provide loans to individuals looking to purchase commercial real estate. I'm in search of a talented graphic desi8gner to craft a captivating logo for our money-lending business. Although the company name remains undisclosed for now, the essence we're aiming for can be understood through the requirements outlined below: - We are leaning towards the color scheme or greens/dark greens and blacks/grays. If the designer feels the need to incorporate more coloring, such as blues or golds, that may suffice as well. - We would like a modern/sleek logo with some type of icon that could be used for "mascot" purposes - While we encourage playful styles, please keep in mind, the company is a professional, financial based company. - One such idea we had for design was utilizing the letter "M" as a focal point, perhaps almost a playful monster type crunching down on money. This type of submission description we want to see from freelancers; showing off your ideas. Using this concept, we could foresee creating animations with the "character" created - We do NOT want recycled clipart in the logo - All artwork provided by chosen freelancer must be supplied with use for commercial purposes; this includes a copy of the licenses of those fonts used in the logo. - Chosen freelancer will be expected to provide no less than 3 concepts with final one to be provided in PSD, EPS/AI formats; hi resolution - Would like final work completed within a few days of being chosen. The chosen freelancer will be given the opportunity for continued work in creating an overall brand and potentially even website design.
