Grand KoiLogo Design Contest

Grand Koi is North America's largest stocker of prize imported Japanese Koi fish sourced from the best breeders, we practice the ancient Japanese traditions of Koi fish keeping and use the latest technologies to monitor and improve on these time-honored methods.

Red, White, Black

Our ideal logo would convey the beauty of the koi fish, the mystery and tradition of Japanese Koi keeping/breeding and yet also be modern at the same time. Would prefer something more simple and abstract as opposed to detailed or complicated. Not interested in any Ying/Yang based themes or koi swimming in a circle to make the 'O' in Koi as we feel these have been overdone. Logo should include the company name "Grand Koi" along with whatever graphical elements and must use a transparent background. A horizontal/landscape logo orientation is desired.

IMPORTANT EDIT: My client has decided they don't want an actual Koi fish represented in the logo, abstract representations of Koi are good but no actual fish. Would like to see the fish scale concept explored some.
