* Update 4/11 – I am still in need of a logo. I had someone who was going to make a good one and it didn’t work out.
I was thinking today. The Bipolar Writer needs a logo. I have done searches in the past and it daunting and quite expensive to go the route of a professionally done logo. I was hoping that my now almost 5,000 fellow bloggers might have some ideas of places to get a good logo for a good price?
In the coming months I might be adding a store to my blog. I am thinking somewhere along the lines of a place to share pieces of my work, but thats for another time. I can really use a logo. I am horrible as designing one. So are there any designers you recommend? Or can you design one for me? I can pay through PayPal if the work is good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, please leave comments below.

I could design one for you, if you like? I designed my own, and I’ve been doing graphic design since I was little. I don’t mind doing it for free, either, so if you decide you’d rather get one professionally done after seeing what I come up with for you, it’s cool.

That would be amazing. I am not picky at all just something that goes with my over blog. I would love for you to design one for me. I have no idea what I am looking for to be honest.

Awesome. Do you have a time frame you’re looking for in specific (i.e. less than two weeks)? I have school, so I need to block off a bit of time to work on it, is all. 👍

Two weeks or whenever you can do it. I have school as well about a million writing projects I am doing so I know how it is. Whenever is fine. And thank you so much.

Hi James,
I noticed you need a logo designed. I am a graphic designer, so maybe I can be of some help. I also need to get started on sharing my writings with you. Thanks for getting back to me on that one

Ok. I have yours, so I will send you my email that way. In the meantime, could you please send me a list of words and descriptions describing The Bipolar Writer? It can be anything that comes to mind. I’ll turn these into thumbnail sketches to be refined into roughs for the logo. Cheers!

For ideas, you could look up “bipolar tattoos,” there are some meaningful illustrations out there.

The Bipolar Writer says he needs a logo. Graphic design is not my talent, but it might be yours.

James, my brother does website design, and I am an artist. Let me know what you’re looking for and see what we can come up with. It would be so exciting! I am thrilled for the progress your blog has made, and my eyes are welling up thinking of just how much you deserve the recognition. God bless you, my friend. ❤

I honestly don’t know exactly what I want. I want it to be a logo that represents The Bipolar Writer and mental illness. I have been wanting a logo for a few months and it’s been a tough process. I had someone working on one but they stopped and I can’t get ahold of them. I’d be open to anything. It would be on every page so it’s important it represent mental illness.

I am thinking charcoal drawing/and a touch of red for the illness part. Why don’t you look at a few images on Google? I can work on it this week and run it by you. PLEASE, no worries if it’s not what you want.

When I think of mental illness, and I experience it myself… I think of myself as a trifecta of sorts, three people. The one we show to the world, the one that is the ‘sickness’ and the gray one… the day to day that we live with and probably actually are… if you want my 2 cents? A face or person going from one color to 3? something like that??? Whatever you decide will be brilliant, trust your gut! ~kim

I would love it if my sometimes very creative (bipolar) mind could come up with a perfect idea. I will let my creativity flow and see what I can come up with. It may be a process. My very first (quick) thought was to have some books for the writer part and somehow transform those books into a bipolar theme or concept. I can’t promise anything, but I will try my best. Honestly, you need an incredible logo for your site and I am not sure if I can make it as brilliant as you and your blog deserve to have. I will just see if my thoughts and ideas can create something good enough for you. I would love it if I could. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to create with my art. I have not done that for a while, but have wanted to start drawing etc. again. I have been thinking about putting my art on my site and trying to sell prints and other products. So, this is perfect timing… If someone comes up with something before me, no worries. I always love to draw and create anyway. I will try to come up a great one for you, but there are many talented people out there. Sorry for my long ramble. I will start my creative process… fingers and toes (and eyes) crossed… Have a happy, healthy and fabulous weekend. Hugs, Sue
