Can anyone incorporate some modern clock hands?

If the clock hands can look like a CHECK mark (around 10:05) that would be even better.

How about the LS standing out bold and then the rest of the name after it, so LS is the main part but "aura" and "tack" after it? Maybe with a soft clock hands behind it?

Added some sample clock hands in file upload I like---something like that anyone?

What about the clock look in the bottom of a large script "L" or "S" initial? Like the circle in the bottom of a script S could be the "clock" and you could put hands in it? Then spell out the rest of the name from that (maybe in a smaller or different font).

Hi everyone! See the file I just added to the brief with my new book cover. See how the word Execution shows movement?

Can anyone play with my name as a font itself showing movement like that in the styling (my name looks "fast" and "speedy"?). Maybe a gradient? Or the capital letter for initial LS very strong and name smaller.

Also can you try a "red to black" gradient version? Starting red on the left and moving to black on the right? The entire logo changes color red to black (like it happens in business going from in the red to in the black)?

What else shows "speed, efficiency, drive" besides clocks? Can anyone represent acceleration or speed in a concept? How can we represent a company speeding forward with agility?

Okay, I have an idea. Can anyone show my name itself "Laura Stack" as a bar chart or graph going up from left to right, showing profits? Then add a gradient from left to right from red to black (how business moves from red to black). Then my tagline underneath.

Literally make the LETTERS in my name the bar, please (the L is little, then the A is higher, then the U is higher, then the R, etc., so that the letters make a bar chart showing an arrow at the top. Use block letters with a gradient from light red, red, burgundy, charcoal, black, etc. With tagline under the entire thing (Turning Strategy Into Performance). Love to see this if anyone wants to mock it up for me.

Also moving away from the clock I think. Need speed, performance, business, speed to be main message. Can anyone make my name itself with a font that shows forward motion? Just upped the prize!!!!!

I just attached a file with a text treatment from my book cover. It would be great to see my name in that style.

Still looking for great concepts showing acceleration, speed, great business results.
