Contest - Design Me a Logo! Cash prize!

EDIT://  Contest has ended! Watch for the results!

------------------------------------

Contest time! Inspired by the fact that I've been dying to hold a contest for eons, and inspired by 's incredible logo. I've been wanting my own for ages, but haven't the slightest clue what I want.

So this will be a design contest. Info below!

Theme

The purpose of this contest will be to design a logo for myself.
Although I may not go 100% with any of the designs that are submitted (I'm extremely indecisive), chances are that they will serve as a huge inspiration.

Helpful Things

My name is Danielle Trudeau
I like animals (obviously)
I like catchy logos without a lot of text
I'm almost entirely a traditional artist
I like: feathers, otters, steampunk things, barn owls, nature, trees, tigers, skulls, elephants, gems, butterflies/moths, deer, science, tea, rock & metal music, cats, flowers, surreal things, the list does not end here
I'm a fan of simple, unique logos, as well as some more complex ones

So there is a ton of freedom here.

Rules

You can enter as many times as you would like (but can only place once)
If you are a winner, you must be willing to let me actually use the design, and alter it if I have a desire to

Prizes

1st Place
- $25 USD (paid via Paypal)
- either a custom ACEO (that will be mailed to you) or a custom animated eye icon

2nd Place
- either a custom ACEO (that will be mailed to you) or a custom animated eye icon

This is going to be a rather speedy contest, so the deadline will be in 3 weeks, so July 9th.

Any questions? Let me know!
