Logo for Moleskines.com

We are an online retailer in need of a new logo for our redesign.

Moleskines.com

We are redesigning our website to be clean, modern, and less "old world".  We are one of the leading (if not the leading) online retailer for Moleskine notebooks.

We need a logo to reflect the classic, simple, and timeless characteristics of Moleskine.  Please visit our website, http://www.moleskines.com to view our products.  You should also visit the manufacturer's website to read a brief history of Moleskine: http://www.moleskine.com/eng/_inter…efault.htm

Our customer base is quite wide -- college students to artists to academics to professionals.  Moleskine is a premium notebook and our customers are willing to pay a little more for them than office-supply type notebooks.

- Needs to be clean and simple, but not sterile.
- Should be a timeless design -- classic, refined.  I am somewhat flexible here, so if you think you have something good, please submit it.  A Euro design could be good too.
- Must be in vector format.  Adobe Illustrator (preferred) or EPS.
- Must work in Black & White format
- Must work on both a black background and a white background
- Basic coloring.  Black + 1 color.
- Some design elements are good, but shouldn't make the logo busy.

- No script fonts
- Nothing frilly please
- Logo should not look or feel feminine.
