Color Preferences
Not really set on colors, on one hand we like the idea of green/blue/yellow to represent agriculture, but we have also seen some logos that are simpler with browns and blacks that we really really like. Some logos with too many colours seem to tend to get overly complex.
Likely also be interested in a black and white version of the logo once one is selected.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
Open to pretty much anything!
Would like a beef (not dairy) cow incorporated in the logo. Have attached a drawing (no rights) of a beef heifer we like. It is important to us that the drawing is of a good quality animal if the whole animal is in the logo; many clip art beef cows we have found on the internet do not show good build/structure, but this can be tweaked in the final stages. Our cattle are mostly Angus/Simmental and I have included a few pictures we have taken around the farm for reference.
We also want the logo to communicate that our farm is more than just beef cattle. Maybe include green grass, golden fields and blue sky and sun?
Our company name is Jackknife Creek Land & Cattle, so could incorporate a creek/river/stream, and a large portion of our land has creeks running through. Or could do a literal interpretation and a drawing of a jackknife?
We are also open to a design that focuses on our initials (JCLC) and in smaller lettering have Jackknife Creek Land & Cattle
We have looked at some other logos and the ones that we tend to be most attracted to had a clean, simple style to them.
Here is a link to our website (still a work in progress) that may provide more insight into our farm and family. http://jclccorp.wixsite.com/home
Logo will primarily be used on website and invoices, but don't want to limit ourselves if in the future want to apply the logo to other material.
https://logotournament.com/contests/white-oak-agri-solutions-inc Like this logo because it is clean and has a good font
https://logotournament.com/contests/feeder-associations-of-alberta-limited Neat how this one had the sun incorporated into the logo
https://logotournament.com/contests/nisqually-springs-farm This one is too complex for our preferences
https://logotournament.com/contests/dawson-whitetail-ranch Love this logo a lot! Very clean
https://logotournament.com/contests/bautz-farm We like this one too - their business seems very similar to ours. Like how it incorporates both beef and grain, but is still clean and simple. The drawing of the heads of the cow and bull are also good quality.
Attached is one (very rough and poorly drawn!) concept we came up with, but again, very open

Thanks for all the submissions so far! Some general comments from what we've seen so far:
1) We really want to showcase that we aren't strictly a beef operation - please include something that shows crops (our main ones are wheat, canola, peas, barley; a wheat head would probably be a safe bet!)
2) Looking over some of the submissions, we're leaning towards what a logo with a cow and calf would look like. This also speaks more to the nature of our operation.
Thanks everyone!

I have added a drawing of two wheat heads to the brief if anyone would like more of an idea of what we are looking for there. Thanks!
