Brief Summary

I would like a logo that fits within the space I've given it (see image). Colors need to work with the site design as well. Mark needs to be a creative combination of the letters "NR" (monogram)

Brand Name
NathanRice.net
Description
Desired Color Scheme
red, black, gray ... any colors that fit within the site I've designed. Feel free to experiment with shades.
Desired Style
techy, edgy, modern.
Accepted File Formats
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)

Please see the image/comp for the website header I have designed for a reference by clicking here. The logo will go in the empty space at the top-left.

I'm looking for a logo for the website "NathanRice.net" that fits the following criteria:

  1. Must fit with the style/colors of the site I have designed (see above link to image).
  2. Must fit with in the dimensions I've given it (see above link to image).
  3. Must include the .net extension in the logo. The .net doesn't need to prominent though.
  4. Must have a mark, made by the creative combination of the letters "NR" (monogram). I am also open to marks other than the combination of "NR" ... but only if they are highly brandable and creative.
  5. The mark must be brandable and recognizable. I am partial to more abstract marks.
  6. The words "Nathan" and "Rice" should be contrasted somehow. They need to obviously be 2 different words (for legibility).
  7. Simple is fine, but too simple is bad.
  8. Preferred fonts would be thin, short, but I encourage creativity, so feel free to experiment.
  9. Must be scalable. Vector or high res photoshop.
