Max K, thank you for the designs! Very classy and professional looking. Would you look at my public comments / images and let me know what you think - offer up some design options.
The concept is (using the pixels - going from black's and silver's to full color as it transitions to the top / summitt or something thereof) that people coming to our company are ASPIRING for something - to dream, to advance, to achieve, etc. and that we as a company can provide that.
Wether you are a homebuyer looking for a loan to purchase your 1st house or an employee looking to advance your career or even start out a new career - the opportunity for that dream, advancement, etc. starts with us.
Being in the financial services industry, I need something strong and professional in the logo and the mark so I like the traditional design in Aspire Lending as you have done - then I would like to see if you can capture all the other in the mark.
