Hi guys!

To be perfectly honest I do not have a crystal clear and exact vision for how the logo should look. So I do have to apologize that my description is not as specific as I would like it to be.

Some ideas and suggestions:

- If possible: New and modern, meets old traditions.
- I think the logo will look better in all caps instead of "TheTokyoTourist." With maybe a slightly different color on the word "Tokyo" to make it more readable. 
- The font could be something "oriental looking" (sorry if this expression is not PC) as long as it doesn't look cheesy. 
- I'm open for a small illustration (like the gate from the Meiji Shrine) or something else topical.
- As you can see from my selected sample logos and one of my attachments, I think roundish logos could work quite well. Maybe it's possible to somehow combine it with the Japanese flag? (Attachment 1?)
- Colors: White, black, grey and/or dark red. Open for suggestions!
- Maybe something inspired from the selected sample logo "itook tuk tuk" and "campin' OC" with a Tokyo skyline in the background and something more old-fashioned in the foreground?

Again, I'm sorry this is a bit all over the place, but I'm not that creative. I'm really hoping you talented guys can translate my ramblings into a beautiful and suitable logo.

Feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions. I'll try to answer as fast as possible.

mattlyn helped me a lot and was very creative. I recommend him!
