One of the designers who made it happen

Winner - GiaKenza

This design was for a vacation rental and future B&B that we are intending to use as a flagship brand logo for other possible ventures (including food products). The look needed to be both quaint but with touches of sophistication that would appeal to more urban, upscale audiences who we are trying to attract to this space. It needed to thread the needle between various moods. GiaKenza did a wonderful job, creating different 'looks' for our logo, including versions which featured our building, and text-only versions which did not. This helped us to come closer to finding what we needed to envision our own brand and its various uses, something which the other - very talented designers - did not do. It was this insight - that we didn't have ourselves - which set Gia apart from the others and helped us achieve the look we were striving for. Once he had won the commission, he was very responsive and helped us get the files we needed, and make small tweaks to the deliverables, as we worked with our printer. I'm so grateful - excellent work. I strongly recommend and endorse this designer. Many thanks! -chris bennem, proprietor Glen Hollow

Slogan: Riveting Sales Solutions. Weapons of Innovative Execution.

Also include the small "TM" after the logo.

I want to come from a fresh, clean, sophisticated and new generation approach like Apple, but since it is a brand about ultimately creating wealth through sales, I want to come from a very strong, stable, and value oriented energy as well (such as a bank). I am younger than most of my target audience, which are men and women business owners 30+. I am a successful entrepreneur now but I am a former exotic dancer (yes stripper), which is why I chose, "The Naked Close," as a play on words - but I don't want something as drastic as a naked girl in the logo! So, naked in a literal sense, but also coming from a "naked truth" sense of value and authenticity. My product is riveting because it has revealed for the first time in history how people really tick from behind the scenes confessions in the champagne room - takes the technical concepts of sales psychology to a whole new level - but is professional and respectful and a brand that will ultimately be worth millions. I also used to be a college professor and I have a masters degree in music, and the dancing is what really differentiated all of that. With that being said, I want the word "NAKED" to be emphasized creatively and to captivate my audience to realize the double entendre, but I do not want to overplay it because then it is just trashy and second rate. At the same time, I'm building my business in California which is a very progressive minded state, and eventually I'll be doing business nation wide, but as we all know, California is the leader in innovation and everyone else ends up following suit to what we are all out to up here!

I would rather have "The Naked Close" in the logo as we are branding that name - and also include the same version of the logo as "The Naked Close.com" as we will brand the website as well.
