Here are some of my concepts. I've gone for something that's fairly clean and simple, yet striking. Creating an icon that works well within the logo or as a stand alone element, one that can be used for things like favicons or watermarks.
The logos are 100% vector so will scale well to any size, and works well in full colour, B&W and on coloured backgrounds if needed,
It would be my pleasure to work up any variations so please do say. I look forward to your comments or thoughts.
You are very creative and these are really give me a lot to think about and look at. I am worried about taller ones taking up too much space on my 8 1/2 paper or on the return envelopes. # 13 looks like a football and I'm not sure where you were headed with that, although I like the idea of a pictorial. That is tough to do. I know the roundness shows more feminine. Perhaps # 11 could be reworked a bit or the arrows in #13 stretched out across the top??
