Logo Needed For New Residential Subdivision

I need a logo for a new residential subdivision in the mountains of Western North Carolina. I'd like the logo to be professional looking, but unique, inviting and easy to remember.

Thanks in advance for your ideas and creativity!

Shadow Creek Preserve

I need a logo for a large entrance sign (4' x 8'), web page, print ads, business cards, and letterhead.

The subdivision has a creek running down the middle, with the building lots on the upward slopes on either side of the creek. It also has a number of trees and is in a secluded cove.

- Some possible thoughts are outlines of mountains, trees, a cabin, etc.,
BUT I am open to thinking outside that "box". I'd prefer colors that will pop
out, but also will need a good gray scale version for some b & w
print ads, etc.- Need original Photo Shop file to be large with 300 dpi or better for large media use, i.e., large entrance sign and/or billboard- Will possibly also need vector file for sign company- I will want the file in it's original layered format so that I can potentially make minor changes like the font itself, font color, etc. at a later date myself, as I have Photo Shop CS3 on my Mac.

- Please use no clip art, stock photography or stock
artwork that would require separate purchase or royalty fees, etc.- A font that is not readily available to download, as I'd potentially like to tie in the font used when I make business cards, a web site, etc.
