Obligatory flags don't leave much space for playing with colors Since this is you trade mark I just stayed within the palette simplifying them a little - though I hope they still read like DMC (I used damn Morse code during my service in army.)
Hi Sculptor - yes they do still read DMC! Although we want to keep the flags for DMC in some form in the logo we were really hoping they could be re-imagined / updated somehow - we are open to ideas on how they can be used. I will upload an image of the flags in their basic form to the brief for reference. We like the colour palette though.
Thanks for the new entries Sculptor, we would rather not have the ship as we are worried this may make us look like a shipping or a travel company, whereas we are brokers and consultants. We are interested in seeing variations on the theme of the flags.
