Ok, whatever. We know that we need a new logo. So let us begin.

I found the following on a site adverting how to make a business logo and thought it would work for us too.

Company-related questions
1- How would you describe your services and/or products?

2- What are the long term goals of your company?

3- Why do you want a new logo? (if they already have one) What do you want your new logo to accomplish? This question helps to understand the problem.

4- Who are your main competitors? Having clients provide links allows you to get a better feel for their market and competition.

5- How are you different from your competitors?

6- What’s the age range of your target customer base? Helps in creating an overall feeling and impression of the logo.

Project-related questions
7- Do you have a tag line? If so, would you like it stated along side your logo?

8- Do you have any specific imagery in mind for your logo?

9- Do you have any color preferences, or existing brand colors?

10- Do you have any colors that you do not wish to use?

11- What adjectives should best describe your logo?

12- What feeling or message do you want your logo to convey to those who view it?

13- How do you prefer your logo to be worded or written out? Example: thedesigncubicle or the design cubicle

14- How would you like the typography to appear? Example: script, bold, light, hand drawn, custom lettering

15- Where will you logo be used? Example: print, web…

16- Where will your logo primarily be used? If the primary usage is for the web, typically horizontal logos work best.

With a link to it on the home page, '''[http://www.cruzine.com/2010/11/10/free-futuristic-fonts here are some epic fonts! W00T!]'''

ANd don't forget, it can't look strange on a Halo Spartan (as that is what our mascot person looks like. Art by me.)
