Shark AcademyLogo Design Contest

Our organization helps run seminars for those interested in becoming entrepreneurs and/or increase their current business profitability and prospects; it is meant to motivate and inspire those to strike out and take risks and to not be afraid to "swim with the sharks." We have self-made millionaires, business consultants, media moguls and business owners come and act as motivational speakers.

The two main colors should be shades of darker blue and and dark neutrals (black, gray, silver, etc) -- preferably in a gradient to denote depth (not a requirement). An accent color should be orange (like burnt orange) but should be used sparingly.

Under the wikipedia category:Shades of Blue, good hues are:

Air Force Blue (a good mix of gray + blue) #5D8AA8
Blue-Gray #6699CC
Independence #4C516D
Glaucous #6082B6
Midnight Blue #191970
Navy Blue #1D2951
Steel Blue #4682B4
Yale Blue #0F4D92

We are looking to have a design that is sleek, sexy and sophisticated

Our ideal design would be clean, sharp and subtle in our message, not a literal translation or graphic. In our name, the term "shark" comes with the idea of "not afraid to swim with the sharks" and "academy" should have a feel less along the lines of a school or institution, but more along the lines of "learning the mentality of being an Alpha."

Preferably we would like a design that can has both a graphic and a title. We would like to be able to take a piece of the logo and use it as a favicon, on letterhead, business cards, etc., and ultimately this smaller graphic part would become noticeable and iconic on it's own, without the phrase "shark tank" associated underneath (think Starbucks branding).

Ultimately, we would like a graphic that is not a complete literal translation of our name, but creates a feeling of "i can conquer the world"
