Elm PartnersLogo Design Contest

we want our logo to convey some meaning. we want it to convey concepts of efficiency (ie low cost) and stability (we are maximally diversified, with exposures to almost every company in the world in our portfolio). It should be simple, but it should convey something. Although we've ranked what we received so far, none is really doing much for us on the front of meaning, with the possible exception of the 1st one that gives some idea of upward growth, but still, not really our central message. hope this helps.
