Hi, here is the change you requested as well as an additional variation on my concept. I got to thinking that a golden delicious apple might bring some needed color, and gold is definitely a good color to associate with money. I think this is a strong and unique mark. Thanks!
Hi, so I had another idea. Not sure that it works. But I was thinking about symbols of scholarship, and of course Einstein comes to mind. Then the Theory of Relativity popped in my head, and it occurred to me that e=mc(squared) could be transformed into a lettermark for your company. e for EQUITY and S drawn as a dollar sign for SCHOLAR. I thought I'd give it a whirl. It might make for a great tagline. Thanks!
