Extra notes: Logo design for a start-up Instagram food-based blog. It will be named "North East-Eats" as I live in the North-East region of my state so it will be marketed towards the local community and businesses. I want to keep the design simple but bold, clean and direct. I am thinking of somehow incorporating a compass, maybe to show North-East or similar, and/or a fork and spoon silhouette, either of these incorporated I would be happy with. I am looking for 2 logos, one condensed/abbreviated version with just "NE-E" and a full version with "North East-Eats". I want the compass idea and/or fork and spoon idea to be incorporated as the abbreviated version will obviously still need to represent the account, and also would love for it to be transferrable onto apparel later on (think sized to a t-shirt pocket but also versatile to enlarge to cover the whole back of a shirt as well - just to be a pain :)). Thanks in advance!
Currently overseas travelling so might have a slight delay in replies but will get onto it ASAP :)
