Vintage Logo Design Needed

I need an experienced logo designer who feels at home with true vintage aesthetics. My brand (details shared after hire) calls for an identity that looks as if it has been around for decades—subtle textures, time-worn typography, and an authentic, heritage-inspired color palette rather than anything glossy or over-polished.

Here’s the flow I have in mind:
• We start with a quick chat so I can show you a mood board and explain the story behind the brand.
• You translate that into two or three initial concepts, all leaning into a vintage look.
• Once I pick the strongest direction, we refine until the mark feels unmistakably “old-soul” yet still crisp in today’s formats.

Deliverables (all in vector and web-ready formats):
1. Final logo in AI, EPS, SVG, high-res PNG, and JPEG.
2. A one-color version and a reversed (light-on-dark) version.
3. Simple usage sheet noting colors and fonts.

I work mainly in Adobe Illustrator, so please be comfortable handing off editable files. Timeline is flexible but ideally the first round of concepts lands within a week of kickoff.

If crafting timeless, vintage logos is your zone, I’d love to see a few samples of similar work and hear how you’d tackle this project.
