Logo & Merchandise Design for Travel YouTube Channel ("The Empty Nester Diaries")

Project Description: My wife and I run a travel YouTube channel called "The Empty Nester Diaries." We are looking for a talented designer to create a custom, high-quality logo that will be used for our channel branding, social media branding, and merchandise (t-shirts, stickers, water bottles). Design Aesthetic: Style: Retro, vintage outdoor/adventure badge. Vibe: Adventurous, cool, and clean. It needs to look like a premium lifestyle or apparel brand that anyone would want to wear, not just our core subscriber base. Complexity: Not cluttered. Easily identifiable from a distance or as a small social media profile picture. Deliverables & Rights: 100% custom, original artwork (no stock templates). Full copyright ownership transfer upon completion. Vector source files (.AI or .EPS), high-res PNGs with transparent backgrounds, and a simplified black/white version for printing. Budget: $200 - $300 maximum. Please provide a link to your portfolio showing previous retro, outdoor, or apparel logo designs. COMMUNICATION: We can email, and then when chosen we can connect via ZOOM for in person. Get to know Sexi Lexi and I by visiting our YouTube Channel and videos: "The Empty Nester Diaries"
