This is the logo for a video blog that is created and run by one adult male figure skating coach. (I’m looking for a logo and possibly a website banner.) Therefore the logo should not look corporate but rather have the characteristics of the blog creator which are friendly, approachable, down to earth, professional, expert, technical, and creative. The logo is intended mostly for adults but should also be attractive to children and teens. The website is owned and run by a man but most figure skating participants are girls and women. So the logo should look masculine but appeal to females as well as males. I would like the designers to be creative as I really don’t have anything specific in mind. But here are some figure skating logos I like:

I was very impressed with the work and responsiveness of 2048.  Suggestions were implemented almost immediately and he/she supplied a very large number of fantastic ideas for this project.  I had a great experience.  Thank you.
