Logo Design Brief
I am a qualified Counsellor in the UK, starting up my own private practice. The main essence of my business is listening and I need to encourage the public to contact me and feel assured of my professional conduct and confidentiality. My logo needs to be welcoming, not harsh or corporate, and show that I am available to listen to them. The concept that I would like to adopt, for personal reasons, is a logo incorporating an elephant with large listening ears, alongside my company name "All Ears Counselling". I am open to colour use but adopting calm/soft colours/tones such as blue/greens or grey as opose too vibrant brights of reds or orange. I am currently building my website and the background colour to the pages is a light/pale sea blue. I also envisage using this colour for my business cards.

Requirements
Must have
- The logo should communicate approachability, trust and ultimately listening.
- The Company Name and an elephant - entire or part, either in outline or whole filled shape, the ears are the key.
Nice to have
- Attached is my own, very draft and basic concept with a front facing elephant - I am open to position/stance but I do wish for two ears be on show. Whether the head or whole body is used is open too, however the idea that the elephants feet/foot is shown is appealing as this suggests being grounded, but I'm interested for your expertise and ideas.
Should not have
- Bright colours that would deem aggressive, such as bright reds or oranges.
- I do not require the words ltd in the design, nor does the design have to be in a circle.
