whoops, my apologies for misunderstanding.. so is there any specific element you would like to use which is related with retail? Just wanted to know what the clues are so I'm on the right track.
no worries - we deal with Financial Investment Bankers and Income Funds in the financial sector. Our tenants are Starbucks, McDonalds, Staples, Shoppers Drug Mart, etc (major Canadian/US retailers).
If you think North American "strip plaza" 4 - 5, 2,000 sq ft stores in a row or one large "big box store with a few small ones beside it - you are more in the ballpark.
Lets lean to a logo that pleases the financial world more than the retail world
