Hi Cynthia, You might want to go a different route to keep the price down. I have used a company called Logo Mojo in the past. For a flat fee, they will produce a number of different designs for you to choose from. Granted, it would mean not working with a local designer, but the price is right (as is the quality of their work). Packages start at $295.00.
