We would like an simple eco-hip logo maybe with a slight retro feel. Further down the line we envisage marketing material such as business cards and flyers to be printed on natural/brown card.
Colours: No fixed ideas but we have been thinking we would like to use a smart neutral colour such as grey or dark blue for example with a splash of something bright like a very bright yellow or green or maybe red.
Random fact: We love growing strawberries and mint for our clients.
