Snake River Farmers Association Logo

SRFA - Snake River Farmers Association

Servicing farms of the northwest region of the United States by helping them with the legal paperwork of hiring guest workers, usually from Mexico, to work on farms.

This logo is for the Snake River Farmers Association. Since the name is long it would be nice if the logo was the initials SRFA with the full text of the acronym to the right or underneath. The logo must not be futuristic or or overtly modern and must appeal to the farmers of America.

No script fonts as we want this to be easy to read.
We want a clean monochrome (single) color scheme, A deep Red is the color, so varying shades of Red, or greys or blacks may be ok). Our goal is to look professional, warm, stable, timeless, agricultural, stable, so people feel comfortable inviting us into their homes.

Farmers in the north-west United States looking to hire foreign workers.

We are looking for a symbol to represent the organization, maybe something using the following elements... a river, crops, farm, barn, farmer, paperwork, but please do not include snakes as they are not the image we want to portray. Be creative but keep it simple and definitely nothing cartoonish, or cute.

No square, or round, or tall logos will be selected... the overall logo composition must be wide rather than tall. The logo should be flat, 2 dimensional... no bevels, drop shadows, fades, etc... those can be added later on by us if necessary. The logo should look just as good in black and white.

We will need it in a vector format that can easily be edited it Illustrator or Fireworks, to alter the colors slightly, and to use the symbol of the logo in other design situations, so layers are important.
The final logo will be placed on marketing materials such as a red item with the logo in white or on white with the colored logo.
