Good Morning Danielle
Thanks for your message :) As I understand here at Logo Tournament the phase your contest is in at the moment only the top 5 ranked designers can submit from now on. I wasnt sure but I see other entries coming in so I understand I can submit more for you now :)
Ive just uploaded some more designs for you as per your requests, Ive shown you a couple more options as well. Is the color palette OK, if you would like to see a variation on this its no problem Im trying to keep it within a natural hue to reflect the serenity of your venture.
In the new designs Ive shown you the typeface orientation in different ways, I can still work on this for you if you come to a decision on how you want the text to look, its a simple fix. Ive added another design using the Washington Monument behind the pose on top of the Capital Dome, this is just something for you to ponder over. You mentioned to do one without a monument, so Ive done that for you. Ive extended the tree leaves into the middle a little so it 'funnels' your focus into the design pose. If I had kept it as before there was too much white space outside of the pose, I think it looks better this way, its much more balanced :)
Good Luck with your new business, its not easy starting out, you've come to the right place for a logo though, there is some talent on here so the designers here will get it right for you.
Thanks again for your message and let me know if you need anything else :)
Best
Trish
