Logo Designer Needed — Maryland Lifestyle Brand ("The 410")

I'm looking for a talented logo designer to create a primary logo (with variations) for a Maryland-based lifestyle brand called "The 410." The "410" refers to Maryland's local area code and is the central hook of the brand identity — it should feel hyper-local, personal, and recognizable to anyone from the area. I have a reference illustration that captures the visual tone and color palette I'm after: a muted, warm palette (sage green, terracotta/coral red, cream, soft mustard yellow) built around authentic Chesapeake Bay and Maryland imagery — blue crabs, oysters, diamondback terrapins, rockfish, marsh grass, and black-eyed susans (the state flower). This sets the overall flow and feel for the brand across web and print. I'll share this reference image directly with finalists. I want the logo to feel warm and approachable, but still credible and market-savvy rather than corporate or "kiddie." This logo will be used extensively across a website and email newsletter header, so it needs to work cleanly at different sizes and in different contexts. Deliverables needed: - Primary/horizontal logo lockup - Stacked/vertical lockup - Icon/mark only version (for favicon, app icon, social profile photo use) - Wordmark-only version - Reversed/light-on-dark version (for dark backgrounds) - Monochrome black version - Monochrome white version - Source files (AI/EPS/SVG) plus PNG exports To start, I'd like to interview a few designers before sharing full brand details. Please share relevant logo design work in your proposal — ideally anything with a similar warm, illustrated, or location/community-driven feel.
