I have recently moved into a very nice house with two of my good friends. While it's obviously not permenant, we imagine being here for at least a few years.
We do a lot of hosting, be it for parties, movie screenings (home theater), poker games, BBQ, blackjack tournaments, craps tournaments, and general tomfoolery.
We'd love to have a logo, a common theme. We imagine it getting put on pint glasses, beer mugs, cigars, cocktail napkins, that sort of thing. I'd also love to get it on some labels for some custom chips down the line, poker, blackjack, craps, etc.
But, we don't have a logo. This of course is a problem. We go by:
The House at Jenifer Street
and
The Jenifer Street Card Room
As we'd be putting this logo on a lot, I think we'd want to go with the first, but maybe a second design for chip labels in the same style? But, I'm pretty sure that's overkill, hmm...
My inspiration draws from Clydes. For those of you who don't know, Clydes is a Washington DC restaurant group that has pretty decent food and a great upscale bar atmosphere. It's the place you go to order a glass of scotch or a manhattan after a long day at the office. My group of friends go there at least once a week, we're good friends with the servers and most of the bartenders. it is literally around the corner from our house, it takes about 3 minutes from door to door.

The logo, the upwardly sloping green "Clydes" text, is the look I'd like to pay homage to. Maybe have that read "The House" with "at Jenifer Street" underneath in small text.
So, that's what I'm working with. If there are any talented artists on here, I'd love the help. I'd be more than willing to compensate you with samples of anything we ordered, some token $$ (sadly, can't offer you what you'd probably deserve), or things of that nature.
Just a fun little things for a group of friends that love to entertain.
Thanks for any help!
