One that would work in black and white. Then creating a webified version of that logo can be very effective. It can enhance the logo very much to add special effects and gradients, especially if it will be used predominately on the web. I also think for web based companies that a new athstetic is in place for logos that has just as much inspiration from icon design and software identity as logo design. And in these cases a traditional view of logos working in any medium, ie print, is less important. And the effects that software allow are excellent. Look at the Firefox browser logo as an example of a well done current logo. Though of course in the hands of enexperienced designers any effect can look overdone. I think software has expanded logo design and not been detrimental to it. Also, keep in mind any traditional process you have can be followed (like pencil sketches) and then brought into a software program (via a scan) and taken further. Thanks.
