Here are some of my concepts. I've gone for something that's fairly clean and simple, yet striking. Creating an icon that works well within the logo or as a stand alone element, one that can be used for things like favicons or watermarks.
The logos are 100% vector so will scale well to any size, and works well in full colour and B&W.
If you'd like to see any variations then please do say.
Angus, #102 and #101 are great. Really liking the way you added the Executive Search tag. I'm wondering if you could show us what a version in green/navy might look like ... or green/black. Would it be too much to try "Early Stage Experts" ? Probably would throw off the balance. THANK YOU!
Thanks for the great feedback and comments, and of course would be a pleasure to work up some iterations. And here are a couple using navy/green and dark grey/green.
I've also changed the tag line, and made it fit. But as a comparison I've made people as small caps and enlarged the tag line and spread it across the width of the full name.
Ninet6/Angus -- WOW. Thank you for being so responsive. Adding the tagline is very interesting. You've come up with some great variations. #146 rocks! Could you try it one more way? With no reverse -- white background maybe with a blue border; everything else as you have it?
