Bright Sand Studio
Slogan to incorporate in the logo
Description of the organization and its target audience
Creating custom tufted rugs (using a tufting gun), wall hangings, and textile art. Inspired by nature (beach vibes) and furry things (interested in doing pet portraits - note, I haven't sold anything yet). Target audience (I think) - people inspired by coastal and mountain landscapes, people who have a vacation house (I live in a beach town), pet owners, decorating a baby nursery, and people who want to have custom fun home decor (will ship within the US). This will most likely be a consumer-based business, but I have seen people get commissions for business orders, but think that will be rare and mostly residential.

This may be too much of my personal style, May be too "rad" skateboard vibes that I don't want for the logo. I may just like round shapes. Although a palm tree is in two of the designs, that is not a hint that I want palm trees. I also don't like the pointy tip of the wave.
Other notes
The business name is inspired by the Gulf Coast (I also love and lived near the Pacific Ocean and Okinawa, Japan). Not interested in neon 80s Miami Vice vibes. I don't mind the 80s, but if 80s, early 80s with still a 70s influence. I would love the logo to be one that I can tuft easily, but not a deal breaker. Although inspired by the beach and bright sand in the name, I'd prefer not to have sunglasses, flip flops, dolphins, or anything too cheesy or "pedestrian". Playful, approachable, and friendly, but tasteful. I'm always down for a 60s 70s vibe, but not too "groovy" or psychedelic. I don't like Art Deco or the 50s diner vibes. I added some screenshots, ***BUT*** I am REALLY interested in the designers' ideas. ***Please*** don't limit yourself to what I attached if you feel compelled to go in a different direction. For real. I am so excited to see what you create.
