Mindful Cre8iveLogo Design Contest

The logo is for a personal portfolio website of women's fashion pieces created over a 20-year design career. The intent of the website to help promote myself as a fashion industry expert and trend analyst seeking consulting engagements and other business opportunities. There is also a lifestyle balance and meditation/mindfulness theme. The audience is start-ups and established corporations that need fashion industry consulting or employees.

Sophisticated, complex -- not playful or childlike.

Look and feel should be clean, modern luxury. This is more about fashion than mindfulness so no Buddahs, or anything heavy handed. Since the name use the number "8" within the letters, the 8 should be slightly emphasized. Do NOT use an infinity symbol as the number 8. One idea is to stack the two words and stagger them so that the 8 can be larger but come just after the "L" in mindful as to not disrupt the word mindful above. All lower case seems like the likely choice but not a requirement if something else looks better.
