Logo needed for new beef jerky company - $100

Looking for a fun and distinctive logo for new beef jerky and smoked meats company. You decide the colors and style - but we want fun and WOW. Will be used on web site, packaging, tshirts, hats, etc.

Intro: Greetings all. I promise to provide speedy feedback (as fast as I can get it based on my clients availability).

Deadline: 5pm (EST) Monday, Jan 22, 2007 may be shortened or lengthened based on submissions. I reserve the right not to declare a winner.

Desired file format(s): layered vector art. This is mandatory!

Company name: Gone Jerky

Location: New England, USA

Products/services: We produce the world's best beef and turkey jerky and smoked meats. Will ship anywhere in USA.

Website name: GoneJerky.com (not built yet)

Task: create logo using the company name and whatever graphics you want. Logo must be strong, clean and easily recognizable and resizable for different applications (web, hats, shirts, billboards, etc) so we are thinking more of a rectangular shape as opposed to a long horizontal one but will entertain all submissions.

Desired tagline: none - but open to suggestions

Other:
All copyrights of the logo will be transferred to me once the contest is over.
All images associated with the logo will be transferred to me - this includes any other images/artwork used to create the final design and all fonts used.
You may use the logo in your portfolio if you are chosen the winner.

Good luck!
