Logo Design Brief
I am looking for a logo for my coaching practice (see www.keetiesijmcoaching.nl for the Dutch website).
I coach employees and former employees of law firms and accountancy firms, people that are in their professional development initially mainly focused on the technical content of their job and not so much on personal development. I help them further develop their personal and professional self. This is serious business but at the same time we could also have a laugh during the coaching sessions.
People often describe me as open, happy, interested, caring, good listener, connector. Authenticity and Enjoyment are very important values for me.
I would like the logo to represent both what I am doing and who I am. Perhaps confidence and professionalism with a small wink.
I am not sure whether I would like to have some colors in the logo ( I also like the gray on my current website), but if these will be there I prefer fluorescent colors / bright colors.
As a coach I am helping other people to help them self.
See picture that shows a lot of who I am.

Requirements
Must have
- See also above under project description
The logo must represent who I am and the people I am coaching (see above in project description).
The logo should not be too serious, or maybe I should say, too "corporate" but should show the professionalism of my coaching practice together with the confidence people should have in coaching.
Nice to have
- See also above under project description.
The logo should not be too serious (so with a Wink) but should show the professionalism of my coaching practice together with the confidence people should have in coaching.
Not sure whether it is possible to include this in the logo but I was born and raised in a very small village on a (flower)farm. I moved to Amsterdam to start studying law and live there ever since. I love Amsterdam and my coaching practice is in the heart of the city.
Should not have
- A lot of coaching sites have a lot of blue. I am not a big fan of blue, so too much blue in the logo is a no go
