Logo Design Brief

I need a logo for my publishing company, Phronesis Publishing. Phronesis means "practical wisdom." Often the name is followed by the tag line, "Tools you can use." I prefer contemporary, simple, and easy to read logos. The logo needs to be able to be on a 1 inch spine of a book as well. We publish books (print and e-books), and visual tools for people with intellectual disabilities. (www.downsyndromenutrition.com)



Of note: most products we create focus on health promotion, food and activity, and coaching fellow dietitians and other health care professionals interested in working with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
