There was an idea brought to our attention by some colleagues we showed the designs too with reference to our current number one. I don't know if it would be good or not... but it sounded interesting so I will do my best to describe it. Like the slingshot which is currently our favorite... but have the elastics drawing backwards into the background around the name so...

LAUNCH VENTURES
So it would look like the person that is reading the logo would be hit by the slingshot if it were released because it's looking right at you...
Like this sort of but around the name
