TC CapitalLogo Design Contest

we are a real estate lending business for investment properties in the US. Our audience is real estate investors. We DO NOT want a building/home in our logo at all.

dark green and a bright yellow/gold color, black as outline/accent color, or maybe the black is predominant and the green and yellow are accents. open to either. going for a money, old european bank type feel

we love the idea of an old European family crest, with the ribbon at the bottom having our company name possibly. we love the very stylized and 'fussy' look of the old world coat of arms. maybe T in one corner of the shield and C in the other corner with Capital in the ribbon on the bottom. We would also love an old world fleur de lis included as well (at least one!) As a joke, TC in TC cap actually stands for 2 cougars, so if there were a subtle way to put a cougar head (not lion) into the design, that would be amazing. the name of the business is NOT two cougars capital though, so please do not put that on the logo, it is TC Capital. We are open to ideas that give that old European bank/family crest feel that isn't necessarily a shield shape.
