It reminds of some logos I have seen before, like this one. I would echo the previous comment that it's a good start and to keep iterating.
wow thats VERY similiar. hmm i think I'll start again to avoid being labelled as copyinh
Rule One: After you have it designed, take away half.

Rule Two: Don't forget to look at both the positive and negative space
Rule One: There are no rules.
I know you're going back to the drawing board since you found out about a very similar logo (Middlebury Actors Workshop ) -- But if you're going to keep the name "EVERGREEN media solutions" aspect, IMHO, your trees or main logo art should have a hint at both trees AND the technical aspect of the company in some way. Even if it's very subtle.
"Media Solutions" could a be a lot of different things. A google search brings up Printing, Video, Magazine subscriptions and a lot of other things. So, decide what type you're meaning and try somehow to do both EVERGREEN and, as I said, what the company actually does in a subtle way.
Now, I'm not saying this is your solution, but I think it gets the point across that I'm making in showing the potential customer what EVERGREEN does. In this case, a printing company...

I suppose if a company is a household name, no it doesn't. However, there are plenty of logos out there (large companies) that do suggest what they do. If he's mocking up a logo to put in a book, perhaps it would be better to have subtle suggesting graphics so that he doesn't have to explain it every time some looks at his book.A successful logo need not display what the company does.
A few examples: Target, Apple, Prudential, Chase, Amazon.com, UPS, FedEx...

The image that I included (TO HELP THIS PERSON) didn't include a printing press or show some guy running paper through a Xerox machine: it simply had a nod to printing (the CMYK colors).
You're comment wasn't very helpful and was more than a bit elitist -- I would truly love to see your own personal website and all of the design that you do. Link please.
