Color Preferences
I'm fairly open to the use of colors. While the logo may incorporate a fish fin with the name Fin incorporated, I don't wan to become TOO literal with the colors. I would avoid yellow, however.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
It is easy to make the literal jump from Fin to the fish fin, and I understand that and I'm open to that, considering it will play well with my son and his friend's. That being said, it is not necessary. Also, being that this will brand some of my son's belongings, it would be nice to have the letters in his name worked in, if possible. Of course, having a fin and his name Fin in the same logo may be a bit much... your talent may be able to pull it off tastefully. I'm open to it, but again, there may be a better approach.
