Logo for Lifestyle Blog

I don't want to stifle any creativity by putting too many requirements, but this logo should be brandable and marketable. I'm a designer myself, so no hack-jobs.. this needs to be professional and creative.

The Race Is Long or TheRaceIsLong.com

Desired Style: professional, creative, brandable Accepted File Formats: Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff) Take a look at the blog. This should be the baseline "inspiration".. I frequently post about myself, my work, pet-peeves, etc. Some of the themes I use in my postings are based on the idea of "life is a marathon", "the race is long", "Slow and Steady win the race" I'm looking for a logo that is brandable and distinct, that I can print on business cards, t-shirts, etc. This will form the basis of my own personal branding, so it is extremely important that it be professional and creative.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Logo design starts at $299.
