Here is what we are NOT looking for:
1. Copied Designs or Stock Imagery. It is better to send a concept design of your own original work, than a copied design that is obviously someone else’s work. (We have access to internet search and will know if you submit someone else’s work as your own)
2. Literal Designs. We are interested in a logo that is abstracted and we do not require obvious representations and combinations of horses, nature, and people. (Nothing with people hugging horses or combinations of plants and horses please)
