Aventurine SolutionsLogo Design Contest

Nice logo, but this is what we're looking for:

icon + textual based logo
2-3 colors (we want this to be able to look good in B&W)
no gradients (for now)
clean style
good font selection - avoid times new roman type

we want a clean style look (avoid gradients / textures for now - just focus on getting the imagery and representation done properly)
we want people to feel confident looking at the logo
we want people to understand that we are a serious business

icon representation should fit with global credit card payments. people looking at the icon should understand that aventurine provides secure payment solutions. security can be displayed through the form of a credit card chip or some other abstract but simple icon. 2 colours. avoid using gradients. simplicity is key. we want to have the icon sitting on the left / right side of the company name. please avoid shapes that resemble star trek or eyes of a pyramid.

textual based logo for us means smart selection of a font face and incorporating some unique elements to it. aventurine should all be written in the same casing (as is all letters should hold the same height - the A should not stand out taller than the rest of the text). we would like to use a sans-serif type of font that's very clean. the focus should be aventurine and not solutions.

some examples that you can look at to understand what we find as nice examples of textual based fonts along with a short explanation why we like them:

Very nice design, however, please make the logo in accordance to the outline mentioned above.

Thank you.

:)

Very nice logo!

The thing is we are looking for the "A" and "S" to be combined in a very subtle / hidden way.

This will be a good reference for you (Northwest airlines, Milwaukee Brewers, Hartford Whalers and Sun Microsystems) are good examples of hidden initials in a logo:

There are also very good examples of incorporating what we do in the logo (Continental & Milwaukee Brewers) are good examples of showing what the company does in the logo

#148 is very nice.

I like how you combined the "A" and "S" in one.

Could you try and make the "S" more visible with a swoosh coming around from the back and create a "partial circle" with it. A circular logo is important to us.

It's also to insert something that subliminally looks like a credit card (not obvious) within the logo

Let's try to insert something like this within a circle:

(with no writing or logo's). There should only be silver chips and magnetic strips.

The colours have to remain a mix of green, red & silver.

Thanks

Also try to do something creative with this:

with a Red Credit card, silver chip and the earth green and silver/white

Hi,

#249 is great!

I just want to see if you could do it with less cards (maybe larger cards).

I also want you to switch the green and red colours in #249 (The larger part of the card would be green and smaller part of the card would be red).

The V in Aventurine is perfect, however, we like the font in #204 with the faded lines on the sides of "Solutions"

Looking forward to your final design!

#259 is good.

We now need the logo "tilted to the right" , in #259 it is tilted to the left.

We want to keep the V in "Aventurine", however, we want to have an original font that is sharp, professional and needs to be very easily read.

We want to keep the two lines next to "Solutions" also.

Please provide different options with "original" fonts created by you.

Thank you

Thanks!

#260 is good.

Now please give different "fonts / writing" of Aventurine Solutions, but (only) the V we want to keep.

Thanks

We dont like the "letters" chosen for v"Aventurine Solutions", we only like the V.
