I like the elyptical arrow, but it seems to obscure too much of the NTS. Can you make the left side a little more narrow so the bottom of the N shows slightly. I would prefer it to be a new entry so i can compare the 2 designs.
ALso, I like the block letters for NTS. I think similar, but more narrow letters would look good for Marketing & Branding. Look at the #2 ranked desight for an alternate letter style for "Be Heard". I sort of like throwing in another color like the green, but use your creativity to give is a little more style.
Good start!
Thanks,
Mike
