Silva Gonsalves, IncLogo Design Contest

Straightforward and Effective Tax Representation

We are a boutique Tax Resolution company that specializes in legal tax representation services for taxpayers that have IRS and State tax problems.

We'd like primary colors being black (shading or "grayscaled") and gold (shading or "grayscaled"), We are open to accent colors of either sage green or grayish blue. We want the font to have some dimension (shading or grayscaled), but we don't want 3D clipart.

In an attempt to give you guys inspiration that is helpful to obtaining a unique, kick ass logo I'd like to give you some descriptions of us.
Silva Gonsalves, Inc. is comprised of two licensed professionals in our early 30's. I'm an attorney (Gonsalves) and my partner (Silva) is in accounting. I do law, she does numbers. We've worked in the tax/law industry for several years. Our business is serious, as it is legal, but we would like to portray through our logo, the fact that we are fresh, confident, compassionate, ethical, and fiercely dedicated to our clients. We don't want to send the message that we're stuffy, nor too playful. We want to portray, sleek, agile, knowledgeable, and savvy.
For these reasons we started playing with the idea of a lioness. A creature that is sleek, agile, protects the brood, but also hunts and provides. We don't want to portray bitchy because we certainly are not feminist man haters. We want to portray the law and justice, because that is what we do, we advocate for our clients before the IRS. Our clients are "the common man." Our clients owe back taxes and need help negotiating settlements of their debt with government agencies.
We like the idea of a lioness and the scales of justice. We like the idea of a lioness leaping from a worse position (on the left as depicted by the scales of justice having its lefthand scale lower than the scale on the right) to a better position (the higher scale on the right) with the idea being that we help our clients to tackle problems they put off, but can't put off forever-and get them to a better place. We want them to hire us and know they are in good, ethical hands.
We do not want a male lion and we do not want anything moving to the left, as we believe this will communicate going the wrong way...namely, backward, instead of forward in their lives, to a better situation.
We do not want clipart. We want dimension, but please stay away from 3D. We want clean, sophisticated, professional, but edgy. We are open to your ideas beyond a lioness and the scales of justice. I'm hoping that you guys can imagine young, attractive professionals, who are smart, determined, ethical and strong - but also cool to talk to, reassuring, hard working.
We like the use of black to depict sleek. We like the idea of a lioness in an aggressive pose to depict action, because our clients are procrastinators, but we want our lioness pouncing calculatedly forward and up. We like the idea of a lioness's silhouette, as it is subtle. Subtlety is good.
We are interested in more original renderings and we are not graphic designers, so we need your help and your creative ideas.

We are open minded to other images that might depict our personalities as we have described. We welcome it.

Fonts have been attached to this brief. We particularly like the color and shape of the fonts for the company named "BonSecour Capital."
