a few things that occurred to me:

you could maybe do something visually with the fact that 313 is an area code for detroit
like: (313) ventures

alternatively:
since i own the domain name 313v.com you could possibly visually group 313V in 313 ventures

there are a few tiebacks to detroit skyline / buildings going on, just so you know there is a famous (in detroit) building - rencen

another big icon in detroit for inspiration is the joe louis fist sculpture

here's a picture of the skyline, it's the big building in the middle.

it's kind of a round building

I appreciate the work so far, some great submissions.
Just wanted to say - i like the building/skyline themes but would be interested in seeing what else is possible?
Also, i like the red and black, but some of the blue logos are nice too, and i'd be interested in seeing other styles/colors.

Thank you so much for the submissions please keep them coming. Up until now i've been trying to give individual feedback to everyone but it's becoming difficult with the rate of submissions.

I am grateful to all of you for your hard works and really appreciate the people coming up with creative and different lines of thought, you are making this a great experience - thank you.

Thank you everyone. We're still deciding but should make a decision within 24 hours - thank you all for your creative and hard work.
