MarySaysItAllLogo Design Contest

This is our first time on LogoTournament. We apologize for our ignorance. I realized too late that Easter weekend was probably not the best time to do this... So, for the few of you that will see this, please bring your best effort!

We are a "voice contractor" business. We cater to small businesses who need recorded audio advertising and voice overs but don't have a large marketing budget. We also do custom audio invitations for special events put to slide shows or video.

We currently use 'Mary's' face as a brand logo but want to have something else to incorporate in our printed advertising.

We intend to use the new logo with our Chamber of Commerce Advertising program and in a new set of printed brochures and on business cards. Therefore, it needs to be a compact design. I'm looking for a small, simple design that incorporates "MSIA" and an iconic microphone image. I want to stick with basic pink and black hues.

Visit our website www.marysaysitall.com for info on our about us page. That may help.
Thanks for participating and we hope the best for you!! Good luck!

Also, I want to use this logo on a pure black background. Please ensure your design will stand out against black. Sorry for the late input. J

And a microphone should be visible either in outline or in the forefront.

Again, I am new to this, so sorry. I will also need the logo in JPEG and .png formats.i will accept an EPS format, but must have .png and .jpg.
Thanks!

New input from MARY.
"I want it to look 'current and contemporary'. I want a slightly 'swoopy' font for MSIA, but definitely not cursive. I am not a fan of Tahoma or Arial fonts. I want a black background. I want the catchphrase 'We Add Volume To Your Business" to have every word capitalized and be in quotes. MarySaysItAll must be all one word - no spaces."

So far, very happy with the submissions! Please keep them coming!

The statement We Add VOLUME To Your Business! should emphasize the word VOLUME with all caps (and perhaps italicized), no quotation marks, and an exclamation point at the end.

We Add VOLUME To Your Business!

Great stuff!! Love them all!

Getting to the final moments - I like the lines of a Shure 55 microphone. If you could incorporate that style image, that would be great.
Thanks!!

Great entries, ALL! Thank you! Love them!! You are all very talented! I/we could have never imagined such creative ideas. Well done!!

OK, all! If you're still in this thing, here are some final comments:

-If possible, please provide a version with MSIA and MarySaysItAll in hot pink.
-We would like We Add VOLUME To Your Business! to stand out, but not be the focal point.
-VOLUME in all CAPITAL letters
-No "quotes"
-Looking for a "box-y" design to fit inside a space on a business card
-Font should not be Arial.

If you're still in, thank you so much for your inputs! You guys (and gals) are great! Very creative designs!

Designers - THANK YOU for your submissions! We are so happy with your creative designs! It will truly be difficult to decide between your very unique and wonderful designs! Thank you for taking the time to read our inputs (though sometimes changing inputs) and creating new works of art each time. Your rankings are not necessarily in order - you all are #1 in our book! But we do have to rank....
We are not sure who will win this tournament, but you all deserve great compliments! Thanks for the responses and please continue to work with us!
Thank you again!
