Design a Logo for our company

Hello, I would like to develop a logo for our company around our name. The name of the company is: Schweissguth Bros., Inc. Thoughts about our logo: - We would like to incorporate "Since 1937" into the logo - As for colors to use, we need it to be neutral in colors between our two large product lines: o John Deere - [[login to view URL]][1] - Typically Green and Gold o Kubota - [[login to view URL]][2] - Typically Orange/Gray/Black Neutral colors would be good, Black/Grays. I would like something that lives up the products name and shows refinement. I would like the project to proceed as follows: 1) I accept the bid 2) I am presented with about 15 different rough ideas. These would be very rough ideas. 3) From those rough ideas, I would select 3 for further refinement. If I can't find ideas I like in the original set, I reserve the right to ask for additional rough ideas until I decide on 3 for further development. 4) The 3 ideas get flushed out further 5) From those 3, I would select one for all the finishing touches to be done. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
