Entry #196. I do like the design but I think it is to simple to have just a shield and world. We have been drawn to the shield but the world by itslef seems to common. It needs to be able to convey a story of the following.
1. past to future 2. Strength. 3. wealth. 4. trust.
The logo is consist of these elements: 1. shield to represent security, protection 2. globe divided into two parts, one in greyscale to show a past, one in blue color to show the future 3. two face each facing a different part of the globe. to represent see the past and the future. I try to translate the message of your slogan "Where Understanding the Past is Knowing the Future". 4. the ground at the bottom to represent the based, the ground to stand. I m sorry if my english no too good ^^ hope you understand the explanation.
