Speech and Accent AcademyLogo Design Contest

I need the logo to look more elegant and distinctive. My clients are high-end clients: CEOs, vice presidents of companies, financial advisors, lawyers, and also actors and broadcasters. My clientele are very high end. So I need the logo to reflect this. I've been doing this in Miami for 12 years, so am the leader in this field, my comptetitors see less famous or visible cleints.

Take a look at my previous logo. (I liked those characters on LC Jeffery Communication. I changed the name to Jeffery communication, had a writing style logo created, which reflects the more elegant look).

To comment on the above submissions. #1 doesn't appeal to me at all, it looks too amateur-ish. #2, is too "Andy Warhol, and doesn't reflect the image of my company, my clients, nor my style. #3. Though I kind of like the blue and green, I don't like the bubble heads.

NOTE: One logo I do like is the University of Monaco Alumni Logo. (I am a graduate of the MBA program at the University of Monaco) I would like my style and Image to reflect this if possible. The University of Monaco MBA was recently scored at one of the top MBAs in the world by the Economist Magazine. (This attracts a lot of my clients) Here is the link: http://alumni.monaco.edu/

Hope that helps!

Very nice entries! I like these much better. But the colors are wrong. I like to use green and blue. A darker shade of what is on the logos above. Sort of a hunter green and ultramarine blue.
I like the elegant look.

I would like for someone to try one with the unique characters of my old logo, LC Jeffery Communications. Though I don't use them anymore, I miss them. Not sure if it will work with the elegant design. I think I posted this example when I started the contest. (This is why I posted the 6th ranked one, but I don't like these 'common' characters.

These submissions are much closer, but not quite it yet.
