Logo and brand identity

I’m looking for a designer to create a custom logo and full brand identity for a new mobile app focused on discovering and supporting local creators, home bakers, artists, food stands, markets, and other small local sellers. The branding should feel modern, memorable, vibrant, professional, and community focused. I do not want anything overly corporate, generic, childish, or template based. A major priority is creating an original logo concept that is distinctive enough to support a future trademark application. I understand trademark approval cannot be guaranteed, but I want the designer to avoid stock icons, commonly used logo templates, copied concepts, or overly generic marks. Scope * Primary logo * Secondary/logo variations * Standalone brand mark or icon * App icon * Color palette with HEX/RGB/CMYK values * Typography recommendations * Brand style and visual direction * Basic brand guidelines * Social media/profile icon versions * Light and dark logo variations * Final editable source files and vector files including AI, SVG, EPS, PDF and PNG * Full commercial rights and ownership of the final approved designs I would also like the branding to be flexible enough to eventually work across the app, website, social media, merchandise, signage, marketing materials, vendor events, and promotional products. Please include examples of previous logo and brand identity projects, especially work for apps, startups, consumer brands, marketplaces, local businesses, or community focused brands. I’m looking for someone who can develop an actual brand identity and original concept, not simply create a logo from an existing icon or template.
