I'm looking for Five New Logos for my Website.
I actually just need one Logo design, but it should come in five different sizes, and still be legible.
If you need (or want) to change/tweak it's design, so it'll look nice in the other formats/sizes, that's cool.

Here are the sizes I need:
These are Max Canvas Sizes, given in pixels (With x Height).
The logo doesn't have to fill the entire area; it just can't be bigger than the sizes listed.

Website Main Title Bar: 640 x 100
I'd prefer a clear background layer (.gif format) but it's not mandatory.
Example: SeymorOnion.com
I have a temp title bar image up that's the max size that'll work.
If you take the transparent background approach, don't put a border around it, like the thin black line I used in my example.

PayPal Packing Slip Icon / Logo: 150 x 100
.gif or .png or .jpg

Shopping Cart Banner / Logo: 600 x 60
If it looks better being less that 600 pixels wide, that's fine, as I can simply do Align=Left, and it'll still look good. ;)
.gif or .png or .jpg

eBay Store Logo: 310 x 90
.gif or .png or .jpg

eBay Packing Slip Logo: 150 x 90
.gif or .png or .jpg

The logo itself should say "SeymorOnion.com".
If you'd like to add a small tag-line, it should say something to the effect of "Accessories for Vintage Games & Consoles" or the like.

While it's true that I'm also currently selling off my games & consoles, I don't plan on doing that forever. So, there's no need to mention sales of Games or Systems in the tagline. ~_^
They're being sold to help raise funds for the new stuff; ie: Game Cases & other accessories, such as Wireless Controllers, Cart & Console Shells, screws, metal shielding plates,
A/V & S-Video & RGB & Component Adapters/Converters, and so on.

As to the design of the logos themselves, that's mostly up to you all.
All that I ask is that they are family friendly, easily readable/ identifiable, and stay within the aforementioned size limits.
wiggy:
Anything specific that you'd like to see?  I mean, are onions in the logo a necessity or is there something else that you'd like/dislike?  Just makes it a tad easier to start something like this with some sort of direction ;)
Seymor Onion:
The Y in SeymorOnion can be a leek, similar in coloring/design to the ones on the website.

I can remove the Background Leeks in the Titlebar, if needed, if someone takes the "Y is a Leek" approach, so it will give a cleaner, overall look.

I can also flip the leek icons on the site, so they'll be pointing in the same direction as the letter y in the logo, if someone chooses to use lowercase instead of capitol.
Also, if the design of the Y-letter-leek is substantially different from my existing leek icons, the icons can be changed to better match the leek in the logo.
I'm very flexible.  ;)
wiggy:
Alright, that helps.  I didn't know if you specifically wanted scallions/leeks, a big fat white onion, etc.
