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.

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?
