This is a single-color design, but I included a few other colors just to give you an idea of how it could look.

Thanks for the logos so far. I guess I'm thinking of something a little closer to #2, which includes fun, direction, and a bit of realism (trailhead sign).

Then again, I like the "professionalism" of #3, although the design is too simplistic for me (I'd like to include a representation of some kind with the words). I like the way #4 incorporates the "direction".

One possibility is not having Trailhead Marketing as part of the logo, or only at the bottom of the logo.

I'm going to upload the logo I did myself - excuse the amateur graphics - I didn't share this originally because I need your professional creativity, but I guess it might help to see the style, as I still like it....

I'm not looking for anyone to take this logo exactly, I'm hoping it better explains the style I'm hoping for ultimately - something "like" this, but a bit more professional.

There were two sets of logos I saw on the forum that I really liked - Great Outdoors Landscaping (I can't find it now) and a bike shop (1/15/07).

Thank you!!
