Logo Design Brief

I need a logo and icons for my new non-profit organization called "Crazy-Breaking". Our mission is for every man, woman, and teen to be able to identify verbal and emotional abuse and to help women to break free from crazy-making abuse. Here is a mockup of the homepage: http://marriagestock.com/design/crazybreaking/index.html.

The icons will be used to identify the eight pages of support and services we offer (for this contest submit about three, and we will start a new 1-on-1 project after the logo is selected), and I want them to have a similarity in look & feel as our logo. After the initial 1-on1 project to complete the first 8 icons, I anticipate more 1-on-1 projects when we identify more needs for icons. (Note that I also have an online software company: www.divorcehelp123.com and I need a whole new set of icons to update our old Web 2.0 icons to Web 3.0... if I find a designer I like we will have more on-going projects there.)

The primary audience is women, ages 18 - 60. Colors for logo: primary - purple, secondary - turquoise or teal or green, tertiary (don't necessarily need a third color) - coral or caucasian fleshtone.

The logo should be feminine with some curves but simple enough to look identifiable tiny, in a browser tab. If the primary logo is a little more complex we could have a simplified version for the tiny browser tab. I've noticed that I do like images of a woman for this logo, and as I am a dancer and used dance in my own abuse healing I like some powerful dance poses... but I will be taking polls from female friends so you don't need to go in that direction.

The icons can be more complex, but they should be "flat" to look Web 3.0. As these are not icons used in a software application where you might see several together, they don't need to be as simple as menu option icons. If you look at the mockup of the homepage I have three samples of icons I liked while browsing throughout the web, but not necessarily (probably not) in black. As we have images of very distraught women on the page, perhaps the icons should be women who are strong and healing, though I don't know that women are the right icon for all the pages. The icons may or may not stay with the color scheme of the logo. The pages/services we will need icons for:
-Your Story (user's forum/blog)
-Abuse 411 (information about abuse)
-Find Support Person
-Resources
-Events
-Training (and certification programs)
-Mission & Vision
-Volunteer
-Donate
Pick about three to show me your concept. I ask for this because I want consistency in design, but I will pay you for a 1-on-1 project after the logo selection to actually do the icon work.

Updates

Thank you for some good designs.  We like components of different designs.  I've done a poll and here is the feedback, in general.


1. Interesting fonts are definitely catching the eye.  We like them.  But with the interest we have to also keep in mind the subject matter.  Something too cute, elegant, or pretty doesn't fit the seriousness of abuse.  But it should have curves - appealing to women and comforting - & interest.  I grabbed several fonts I found that might look good... hard to tell without it pulled together with the right words and the symbol part of the icon.  I will attach the pdf with these samples here.

2. I do want to convey meaning in the symbol part.  I don't like broken hearts.  I do like some sort of image of a woman breaking free, face or body, with curves and not too complex.

3. Color: I like the darker/bluer purple rather than the pinkish purple as the primary color.  I like a little bit lighter green or teal as the secondary color, showing a nice contrast with the purple.  If there is a small amount of a third color, coral.

4. I've changed the tagline to:
Breaking free from crazy-making verbal abuse
I think including the tagline is good for this because it gives immediate understanding to the name and the purpose of the organization.  But with an interesting font for the Crazy-Breaking plus a symbol, the tagline should probably be simple, plain, small font, maybe in a partially transparent color, or in coral.
