Company logo... help

[brownhood]

Hey Guys,
I've been trying for some time to come up with a logo for my company. Being somewhat new to photoshop, I've put in many hours trying to get a certain look to no avail. I'm thinking about testing the waters with one of those online logo creation companies....but not sure if its worth their price.
I would appreciate any help I can get with my logo creation, any ideas out there? The Name:
BROWNDOGG
PRODUCTIONS

I record music for local artist, mostly Hip Hop and some R&B. So the style should represent. I also do music video shoots and indie film shoots when avail.
I would consider compensating anyone's time for this.
Any help is appreciated.
THANKS

Chris

What type of "look" are you going for? I can help

[brownhood]

Something Hard...(that hip hop edge)....... gets your attention

You want a little GRUNGY look?

[brownhood]

Wouldn't hurt...... I'm open.............

[kprince]

One more question. Where did the name come from, could you explain it a bit? Thanks.

[brownhood]

My last name is Brown........ and I'm a big guy, my friends call me "Big Dogg" plus, one of my pets is a huge black\brown Rottweiller.

Would you want a Rottweiller incorporated into the logo?

That would be cool..... I was trying to post a few pics of him, but having some trouble. I can't seem to post attachments, don't know why. I've seen people do it here before. I don't have any URL either.... would be sending straight from computer.
