The New HotnessCheck out the new logo.
I tried a little gold-on-burgundy action for the profile pic. Not sure if I like it, but worth a shot.

Busy busyBought some new work shoes recently, and they are definitely broken in now.
I spent much of the sunny afternoon walking around downtown for a few Greenfern-related tasks, including a meeting with Joel of The Enthusiast. If you haven't seen his magazines around (enthusiastprint.com), I recommend them highly.
He's got a little office set up in the Visitors Center (aka old Market Arcade) for a few weeks, and it's worth a stop in to see what a proper design shop looks like.

CommencementAnd here it begins, the genesis of Greenfern's web presence. Further updates as events warrant.
Wow, those are some fantastic illustrations on her site.
Thanks for the input! I'll pass the word to our illustrator (jessicagadra.com).
Cool logo. A few comments:
-Why do you need to enclose it in a circle? I think it would look even better if it stood alone.
-What is that little thing growing out of the base of the fern? I would simplify the entire base into one regular "stalk".
-Why only one/two color? This is the web, so you could make the fern green, add some subtle gradients/effects, and really make it pop.
-The bottom of the pot (inkwell?) has a weird angle in it on the right. It disturbs the flow of the fern. It would look better rounded off, or if the fern pointed down more to the right/farther away from it.
The concept is really strong; a fern instead of a feather quill suggests a natural, organic kind of writing and has an element of surprise that makes good logos.
yes, yes. do tell.
it's a beautiful logo, btw.
Ok, so when are you going to tell us what Greenfern is?
