Deringer SecurityLogo Design Contest

One idea I've had is to use a Deringer pistol somewhere in the logo, but I'll leave the specifics up to the professionals. Thanks :)

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank and re-rank a variety of designs to get a variety of new entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered.
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for the Designers' hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

I like all of these designs, but I'd also like to see what #2 would look like with the letters D and S. I don't know if that would work, but I'm open to your ideas.

Some other ideas that have crossed my mind:
- using a Deringer as the final "r" in the word Deringer
- using a Deringer as part of the letter "s". I don't know how feasible this is, but there's kind of a curve to it, so it might be possible. I'm far from being an artist...I just come up with ideas.

Thanks for your help,

#11 and #13, could you please try to put the complete letters inside the shield? It seems hard to tell that it is saying D S.

Thanks,
-Chris

#7, can we try to have the Deringer point to the right? It may or may not need a longer handle...not sure.

Thanks,
-Chris

#27, I think that is really eye catching. Can we try putting that entire logo inside a shield? Or incorporating a shield in another way?

Thanks,
-Chris

#19, Can we try outlining the S with a darker color so it pops a little more? I like this one.

Thanks,
-Chris

One of the members of the selection team suggested incorporating some or all of the following information in a literal or non-literal way:

Thanks!
