Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m working on a logo design for my own business (go figure right?) and I’m in a
graphic design related field (I work at a photo studio right now) and I majored in communication design. I’m starting a small company at farmers markets and the like and I make handmade soaps and bath bombs and fragrances and stuff. In my business plan (kind of like my creative brief) my niche is tropical and hawaiian type, beachy, fun, youthful scents and aesthetic. I’m a huge fan of David Carson, so I wanted to take some inspiration from him into my work, but I want my logo to reflect sort of a carefree, fun, tropical, surf, beach vibe, but I need help with my logo. Do you think it’s appropriate to have a beachy fun vibe to a logo that specializes in tropical scents and soaps? The soaps are all different colors, but most are bright and fun and neon in color.
I can design for a lot of other people, but I’m obviously having one heck of a time designing my own. Help please?
How can I show you guys a picture?

The letter stated that I was selected to be a secret shopper at sears, wal-mart & western union & I would be paid $325.00 out if the check I received. The check they gave me was for $2,450.71 with the John Deere Logo titled John Deere Insurance Company
They told me to deposit the check & funds would be available in 24-48 hours
The address on the letter is 38th East 29th st. 6th floor, New York, new york & telephone # of 1 866 475-8414 Ext. 1100
Is this a scam or is it legitimate???????

What would be the advantage and disadvantage? I’m thinking of going for a blog with two niches for branding my business and to decrease competition. What your opinions? Thank you.

I am creating a website for students at my college. It does not contain the school name or the school logo. It is not to be affiliated with the school. Saying this, I would like to have to my school’s colors (blue and white) on my website.
Could my university react negatively to me using the school colors? Would they be able to press charges or demand my site close down?
After all, it is just a color combination, but I feel that, because it is a forum/classifieds website for students of my university, they may be more strict.
(For further explanation of my website, refer to the following example. My college is called Beer Bottle University, located in the town of Bud. The website I am creating is called Bud Students. I am not using Beer Bottle University’s logo or name, but I would like to use their school colors. Is it possible?)
