I am looking for a logo designed (for a start) for a natural skincare business. I need the logo to reflect an eco-friendly product yet contemporary. I don’t want anything too busy, flashy, bold or harsh. This is not a glossy, fluffy product, it’s a natural one.
The logo must work across a select range of products in a variety of packaging bottles and tubes. I want the product to project an organic, raw feel so perhaps neutrals would be best (though I don’t want it looking dull). I need a logo that’s easily recognisable – perhaps with a bit of something to make it stand out on the shelf.
Updates
Hi, after receiving some submissions for logo design (thanks very much), I have altered some of the wording in my brief, as it wasn't yielding exactly what I was expecting.
I have exchanged whimsical for contemporary. Sorry for the inconvenience to those who submitted. I understand this puts a bit of a different spin on logo designs..
Here's the brief again:

Requirements
Must have
- interchangable colors? eg: logo color can be changed from green on clear container to white on green container, etc
Nice to have
- neutral colorings - greens, beiges, white, off white
Should not have
- anything too harsh, bold or edgy. not keen on yellows, beige, orange or red-ish brown colors (but needs to show up on clear containers & labels for some products). don't want it to be the natural 'tree hugger' cliché. it's about the client using a product without harsh chemicals, that's good for them, that will help eliminate existing damage and reduce the chance further damage in future.
no fonts like 'broadway' or 'bauhaus' or 'curlz' or 'chiller'
