I chose those the sample images because I like the full circle or text with arch. 

And I like the rustic typeface. They all have green and brown earth tones, which I like, specifically the colors of Wild Larry and Wood Chuck. 
Repurposed and Nothern Bounty are my favorite for text style and layout.

Overall, Northern Bounty is my favorite because of the elements under the arch, similar to Hickory Hollow. 

I imagine a bow and arrow (compound or traditional recurve bow) with the string as the land and the bow the arch. The arrow head as the north star. Maybe some type of farmhouse with forestland, not farmland. 

In my first two uploaded image, there's some crops, a deer, a farmhouse/man and forest. I'm open to any suggestions and not married to my boring sketches. Another option is have the native American hunter hold the bow and arrow and use some other frame to make the circular logo.

Upload 3: A drawn bow could represent a heart shape or a diamond shape.  The real addition to this sort of logo would present the tree and root structure as the arrow itself with crops on one side and man and animal on the other. Cedar tree?

A full circle logo or vertical oval is really my preference but I can't draw that well.
Please note, my company name is long, and hyphenated. 
Also native-american styling is acceptable (ie traditional bow, peace pipe, feathers, cornucopia) but not necessary.

The real issue to me is how to keep the text big and legible and still have some elements that symbolize my business description above.

Thank you so much for your help. I'm sure you know what you're doing better than I can describe it.



You won the contest because you followed my instructions. I had the idea and you made it a beautiful reality. You&#039;re design was the most artistic realization of the idea I had in my head. Great working with you.
