Logo Design?

[Lilith]

Hey y'all! I need a logo design for my website, DM Tools. I'm willing to trade artwork for artwork, can anybody pleeeeeease help me out? My contact email is in my profile. :D

Is there a something you are leaning towards, stylistically? I have an idea or 5 but would like to narrow my focus to try to satisfy any underlying desires you have for a Logo.

You need the old cartoon DM from the D&D cartoon, wearing a Tool T-shirt, and under the effects of mirror image

(DM+tool)*N=DM Tools

I very much like to draw logos, and I would do a logo for the site without worrying about an art trade or anything. I'd be happy just to see if I can get something I've drawn onto a website.

EDIT: I've drawn a rough draft of the logo. It's a DMG with a banner coming from it that reads "DM TOOLS" and under the banner are the words, "WHEN THE DMG JUST ISN'T ENOUGH!"

And then there are a few dice scattered around it.

If that sounds interesting to you, I'll see if I can put together a better copy of it and ink it and scan it.

How about a toolbox with a few things sticking out? Namely: a wrench, a screwdriver, a hammer, a wand, and a scimitar? Hehe.

Sounds like that plumber that came to help close the passage into another realm in (what was the name of that cheesy movie?)House?

House 2, actually. And that plumber was played by John "Cliff from Cheers" Ratzenburger.

I want to see a logo with a small, innocent-looking, girl holding a giant spiked mace behind her back.

Maybe she's standing at a table surrounded by monstrous players (dice, sheets, etc)...

But I can't draw much beyond stick figures, so someone else will have to put the idea in motion.

What about the quintessential dorky gamer, with a giant overstuffed utility belt (a la Batman) with dice, books, etc. spilling out of the pouches?

I also can't draw, just chucking out an idea.

Here's a better outline of what I'm looking for:

1.) No usage of "recognizable" books (like the DMG), particularly in light of the fact that I'm trying to expand the site beyond the WotC book lineup.
2.) Usage of a d20 (the dice) in the logo.
3.) Something representing the tool-like nature of the site (the aforementioned hammer, wand, scimitar, etc. are great ideas).
4.) Clean image. What I mean by this is something I can put on a t-shirt or business card and still have the image be clear no matter what size it's at.

Duh. I should have thought about that point. I suppose it might be best just to leave copyrighted books out of the image altogether. Just in case.

Well I'll come up with something better maybe.

Lilith, I drew you something and sent it to your E-mail adress. Hope it helps.
