I think its time to take off all restrictions. Now feel free to use any color scheme and any design ideas you think looks good. Great job everyone so far. I'm impressed. I just thought about possibly putting the logo into a crest. I don't know anything about how hard this is but it made me think of the crest I just saw a few days ago.

Thanks,
