Color Preferences
No distinct preferences with regard to colours. Black, grays, dark blues, silver, white, gradient, etc. are all fine. As the nature of the business and audience is serious/financial/investment, bright vibrant colours (yellow, green, bright red, pink) may not be appropriate.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
The logo must include a stylized or abstract image of a phoenix (a mythical bird that is reborn and ascends into new life, growing stronger, rising from the ashes). The client likes images in the uploaded examples but we need an original icon that looks "less like a "tattoo" and more professional. The phoenix icon will greatly influence the client's choice of logo. Fonts used should be strong and clean and appropriate for a financial/investment business (not dainty, cute or overly artistic)
