A Professional Logo needed for website and t-shirts and other products

**We are looking for someone to design a Professional looking Logo. **We are a Checkers Team that plays mostly online but a few of us compete at real life checkers tournaments in person. We recently changed the team name from Grooves Speed Team to Grooves Skill Team. So now we need a new logo with the correct team name. No one on our team is good enough to make a decent logo. The team decided it was worth it to pitch in money from everyone to pay for a professional looking logo. We will be using the new logo at our team website [login to view URL] as well as t-shirts and other products. Ideas for the new logo are: 1. Contain the team name "Grooves Skill Team" 2. Logo colors should ideally be red and white 3. Possibly contain something checkers related: a checkers board or a checkers piece or two people playing over a board 4. Logo should be scalable and simple. Easy to read and view In other words, it should look good on our WEB Site (small ~ 80 ??" 100 pixles), T-shirts, posters and calenders and etc. 5. We can communicate easily in english using Yahoo Messenger, AIM or email. Please provide samples of your previous work or portfolio. If you have some concepts, these would be ideal.
