What colors would you like?

black, brown, gold, maroon, olive, bluegray

How many colors do you want in your design?

not sure

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

Keep it simple. I like both traditional and modern designs. Could go either way. I like some logos which incorporate initials in a symbol next to the name. Would also consider a simple abstract symbol along with the name. I also like some logos that simply use distinct fonts and colors. I generally like a 2 color design but would consider more colors if done well. Would also like the logo to look good in black and white when printed without color.

Thank you everyon who submitted a design. There are a lot of great designs and it will be a difficult choice to choose a winner. Because there are so many good designs, it will probably take me a couple of days to make the final decision. Thank you again.

Sorry for the poor sentence in the prior comment. The sentence should have been "I would consider a symbol that does not use the initials although the symbol would need to be unique."

Thanks again for the designs. I appreciate all the work so far and I do like several of the designs. I would not mind seeing some designs that have a bit more modern or contemporary typeface. I have seen some logos I liked that use just a unique typeface and no symbol. The typeface can set it apart. Also, I would not mind seeing some symbols that are not just the 3 initials inside a box or circle. Perhaps writing the initils in a unique or abstract way. To be creative, it might be easier to use just the K and S. Also, I would consider a symbol does not have to use the initials although the symbol would need to be unique. I guess I am looking for something to set this apart from many other typical logos while keeping it simple and professional. For colors, I like unique colors that are not bright red, green or blue. I like brown but not plain brown but something like a mustard brown or an olive brown. I like blue gray or a golden color. I like autumn colors.

Thanks for the designs so far. I appreciate the efforts made so far. One suggestion - I would like to see some designs with the colors I specified in the creative brief. I was not really looking for bright red, green or blue. #13 has the initials in the wrong order.
