Extra notes: I'm looking to have a logo create for my niche social network, to form part of an overall brand.

The subject matter of the social network is reasonably 'taboo', but is not sleazy or pornographic in nature, so a level of understanding is required.

The logo will be a flat or material design pictoral mark that plays on the love heart iconography, but steers clear of a dating vibe at all costs.

It will be used primarily on the web so will need to be letterbox style, most likely with an icon left, text right, or icon incorporated into the text itself.

A more project-specific, comprehensive brief including use of colours, fonts, further examples and other information will be provided.

I'll be reviewing previous work of each designer before I move forward with anyone and I'm looking for someone who has good, down to earth communication skills.
