This stand alone pine cone symbol could be the winner. Its simple and classy. As I was saying before in a comment to another artist, its a challenging look to achieve. I'm kind of going for Tough Guy Lumberjack meets Suit and Tie Classy. I think your logo looks classy, like it could be the logo for a country club or something.
The only thing I might like to see is maybe a few different fonts. The one you selected is fine, but I'm not blown away. It might end up being perfect, but maybe I just need to see a few variations before I can settle.
