Hi all,

Thank you all for sharing your designs with me. It has been an invaluable experience. If you have any ideas, questions or any concerns you want to share with me about the logo please feel free to contact me. Happy designing.

Things to keep in mind when you are designing:
- Definition of Meridian.
- Preference of the letters MWM in the graphic
- Originality of letter or graphics of letter (e.g. shadowing) for the word "Meridian"
- Think creative subtlety when designing

As a good starting point please take a look at Staffing Solutions' logo http://logotournament.com/images/entries/3847657602-223.jpg The graphic within the logo incorporates SS. I would like something similar to that, but, with the letters MWM.

Thank you guys,

Hi Everybody,

I thought of an idea for a logo and I would like to see if someone can make it work.

It is a design of a compass with the meridian line joining the north and the south position of the compass. The words Meridian, Wealth and Management would correspond respectively to the North, West and South position. To accommodate the lack of a word for the East position of the compass; maybe a fade out effect from right to left of the compass would solve the issue. In addition to the Meridian line, if the line could emphasize the word Meridian (eg.an arrow pointing to the word Meridian).

Please keep in mind the design of the compass should be in as much detail as possible. A detailed sketch of a compass would be interesting to see.

Thank you for all your contributions. Keep up the good work.
