Bon Secour represents a safe harbor where a business founder can bring the company he's worked hard to build and place it in good hands.
>> It's a little like an old explorer who's guided his sailing ship on a long voyage and now has found a safe harbor to make repairs and improvements, and is taking on a new captain he knows has the same mission for his crew.

I like that #4 has a slightly formal tone. The fleur-de-lis is a good approach and matches the heritage we want.

Thanks to all for submitting more nautical-themed logos (especially the historical ones). These are good directions.
Please refer to the color suggestions; #4 comes closest to these. The blue-green combination isn't bad, but we welcome other options.

I like that #29 has broken out of the circle shape and is trying other colors (see brief).
I also like the head-on angle of the ship from #19.

These have all been very strong, fluid logos. Thanks to all for pushing these toward a more classic look. I think it's important that Bon Secour feels like a company with a long heritage and not so new or impersonal.

After conversations within Bon Secour, we like the symbolic FLEUR-DE-LIS design (#4), but again, we want to age the look even more. Please consider treatments that show the mark as possibly an imprint of an old coin (see Atocia shipwreck coins), a royal wax seal or a woodcut look. Other ideas along these lines are welcome.

We'd also like to break out of the circle boundaries.
