I just noticed your response. Actually, please ignore that one as the feedback I got from colleagues was to bag that idea.
Could you go for a Wordmark design instead. Also, could you review my updated Brief which hopefully gives a better idea of the impact/theme I'm going for.
incorporated an outstretched human figure reaching up as if moving forward or toward success. the shape can also be viewed as a double helix for the shape of DNA found in humans
I found myself smiling at the really likable fellow stepping out. I'd like a less whimsical characterization of people/person though for mine. I bet that design will sell for someone else though. It's a charmer!
