Whenever you're stumped in the branding process, do some research!.

Google "smoothie bar" and see what's out there!. Don't do this to rip off other people's designs, but do it to see what makes their identities so successful (or NOT successful in some cases)!.

After a quick googling of "smoothie bar" I found a lot of companies that use a lot of orange/red/green color themes, as well as very trendy upbeat designs for their logos!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Get a graphic designer - go on Craig's list and put an ad out!. It is unfair to ask people to work (creative design brainstorming) for free!. Do you work fo free!? And do you trust the quality of free work over that of a professional!?

You can hire a design student relatively cheaply!. Remember - you get what you pay for!. The design is the first thing people se on the shelf - you win o lose customers right there!. Invest in the packaging - it is an important part of the process/product!. Places like Pinkberry are all about the look/logo as well as the product itself!.
