Aventurine SolutionsLogo Design Contest

Very nice designs, but, here's the thing;

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

Regarding #156

It is too sharp, looks more like a "Z" than an "S".

Rounded rather than straight would be best.

We are also looking for a subliminal message of a credit card with a chip.

The colours are much better now.

The A & S should be made up of a circle with an image that "looks like" a credit with the chip on it. The chip should not be a triangle.

We would also like a customized font that does not look generic.

I like #189 how you combine the A & S.

The only thing is we wanted a a chip that looks like it's on a "portion" of a card within the logo.

Also within the logo, give it a "jade green" with a little gem texture (like diamond cut)

This is how we will chose the winner of the tournament:

We've come to the conclusion that the "A" and "S" in the logo is not working.

Now, we simply want a complete circular logo (with no slots) with creative ways to symbolize our business. The credit card and chip is a good way, of course it has to be within a circle.

We help businesses do transactions through credit and debit, we our open to creative ways to make it clear "what we do"

We also want a custom creative (not generic) font for "Aventurine" and "Solutions" with 2 faded lines on each side.

The colours in #203 are perfect.

We would like a logo without the A and S, just a logo with subliminal messages showing what business we're in.

The new logo is very similar to the one we ranked #5

Sorry, we don't want $ signs in 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.

I also like how in #238, the card within a circle makes an "A". I prefer a card that is "not centred". I also don't want a "full card" image in the logo.

Thanks

Also try to do something creative with this:

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