Logo for large retail shopping center

Logo design is for a retail shopping project called "The Shops at the Galleria" located in Bee Cave, Texas (near Austin). This is a large multi-building retail center. The logo will be used for the project's identification on monument-type highway signs, as well as marketing. Logo should be oriented vertically. The height to width ratio of the logo is approximately 4 to 1. The logo should include the project name and a graphic, or just the project name. Project name can be either "The Shops at the Galleria" or "Shops at the Galleria".

The City of Bee Cave favors natural colors (earth tones) and muted colors. Bright colors are discouraged. Although the logo on the monument-type signs will be about 8 feet tall, the logo will only be visible from a distance, and many of the cars will be traveling at 45 mph. Therefore, the color scheme must retain visibility from a distance. We realize this is somewhat contradictory, so these color guidelines are somewhat flexible, and the winner might not follow the color guidelines. Just use your imagination, and give us your best product. Feedback will be provided. The winning designer will be required to sign a contract assigning the copyrights for the logo prior to payment.
