Quinn LockmanLogo Design Contest

Design and Artwork

Paintings using primarily oil paint and watercolour

Classy gradient maybe red, silver or white. No pastel colours please. If you could present on a black background that would help (my business cards will be black). Thanks!

I like logos that look like they could be two things at the same time, almost with subliminal meaning. I also like logos that use shadow breaks or rising colour effect. I was thinking maybe we could use the L from my last name. But if this is not going to look classy enough
I’m open to suggestions/ideas. I want to attract high end customers so I need something very classy and elegant. I was originally interested in the painted look but it did not have the refined upscale look I was hoping for. I would prefer not to use the letter Q as the main mark.
Not looking for just a wordmark. Looking for a logo design that can stand alone or with text.
