Update 8-6-2017 Although I'm drawn to mandalas, the logo image doesn't necessarily have to have a strong mandala image. Even though these logos presented match my request, is there any way to go beyond what I proposed to make something truly unique, to create something that I didn't even know I would like until I saw it?
Themes - trust, financial well being, financial freedom, peace of mind, living a purposeful life. Thank you!

I am drawn to the shape of mandalas. I like them because they look somewhat like a flower, they are somewhat feminine, yet strong, they have aspects of symmetry, balance, and calm.
See 2 attachments. The more green mandala has pointy ends that I do not like and is a little too detailed, but it is pretty nice. A more subtle, unique version of this design would be really close to what I'm looking for.
https://www.shandali.com/collections/yoga Shandali yoga towels has a more simple design, but I like mine a little better.
I also like a stylized font for the name Avea, but clean, clear, easy to read. I have used Candara font as a prototype and I like the way the ends of the letters flare out a bit, sort of an Asian feel. I also like shadowing under the main word, Avea.
I like color and the balance between the predominant green in the mandala, the large blue Avea, and the smaller green of the "Financial Planning, LLC". I'm not sure how to treat the "LLC" . I prefer it be small, almost invisible.
I think I'm just looking for someone to improve on my 1st choice and to make it original so that I can copyright it and use it as my own.
