I am totally open to your creative input, but I have a few suggestions for the design. 
 
TaffyCat Films is named after my tabby cat Taffy. I would prefer a cat symbol of some sort as part of the logo. It could be an entire cat, or an element that suggests a cat. Some ideas that came to my mind were: 
 
 -Cat in movie director&#39;s chair 
 -A director cat wearing a beret. 
 -A cat behind a movie camera. 
 -A cat with a movie light fixture 
 -A director cat with a megaphone (as in silent movie days) 
 -A lean stretched out cat leaping over the TaffyCat Films letters. 
 -Intense cat eyes 
 -Cat&#39;s paw 
 -Cat face 
 -A cat inside a frame of movie film. 
 
The design should be sleek and minimalist yet show action, confidence, athleticism, or a go-getter attitude. I am leaning toward a gold color for the cat emblem and perhaps black for the lettering, but am open. 
 
I prefer a non-serif font and would like the logo over a solid background and a transparent background that can be keyed over video. TaffyCat is one word and Films is a separate word. The T and C in TaffyCat should be capitalized. Please don&#39;t use more than 2 fonts. 
 
The entire logo should be easy to convert to solid black or white and still look intact. 
 
Here is a general rule for the colors you should use when creating graphics for television. 
 
* No color should have any R, G or B value higher than 235 or lower than 16. 
* Black is not black, and white is not white; instead, use RGB values of 16, 16, 16 for black and 235, 235, 235 for white. 
* No color should be over-saturated in any one channel, so values in the R, G and B channels should be within 191 of each other. (For example, R 200, G 100, B 50 is good, while R235, G 16, B 16 is not.) 
 
This is my first time using this service, so please feel free to contact me if my directions seem unclear or if you have any further questions. 
 
Thanks and good luck! I am quite excited to see what you come up with.

MJ did a fabulous job with my logo and was very responsive to my changes.  I highly recommend MJ!
