Opportunities…closer to reach

Silvershift™ is a business consulting and legal services firm that offers the services of an experienced executive and lawyer licensed to practice in California, Connecticut and Illinois, and who for nearly 20 years has been at the forefront of developments in intellectual property and the businesses that rely upon it.

Color is not right for this logo. Silver and gray, in varying or progressing shades, is the way to go.

I have chosen “Silvershift” as a name for my new consulting and legal services entity. 10+ years ago, I remember a marketing consultant advising a company I represented to change its name to “Redshift” (after the concept in astronomy – analogous to the Doppler effect, but for light waves rather than sound waves). That name would have been laughable for that company, and the CEO and I have occasionally joked about that incident. However, the name always stuck w/me, and I always thought one could design a really cool, animated logo for a company named that. Also, I thought the $100k my client spent on a name chosen by the consultant apparently by throwing a dart @ a board shouldn’t go to waste! In trying to name my practice, I thought of just jobbing the “redshift” name, but that seemed unoriginal and, indeed, there already are multiple Redshifts out there in the consulting world. So, I came up w/”Silvershift,” which, I think, connotes activity and movement like Redshift, but also connotes quality, purity, wealth, power and maturity. This is what my logo should be about.

I envision the logo to look like when you win solitiare on the computer - the cards jumping kind of like dominoes in rapid motoin.
