I am really liking the direction but would love to see some more variations on the mark... i.e. different swords, handles down, handles up, single sword, dagger-like sword, etc. I also put together some images that might help with some ideas. Here is the link.
Thanks for your ever creative designs and variations. I appreciate you taking the time to work on these.
I would like to try one thing, if you don't mind... and that is making the swords and shield mark a little less detailed and a little more simple--so that it could be used more as a simple standalone mark, if desired. I have found a logo (that is a "Saber" company interestingly enough) that uses a very simple mark. Could you take a look at it and see if you can come up with some designs that use a more simplified mark?
