The Academy for Dental ExcellenceLogo Design Contest

I would like the logo to possibly - (I am open to all ideas) - be based on the concepts of: Excellence, Intellect, and Integrity. 3 concepts. Perhaps interlocking circles or a triangle. The Academy for Dental Excellence will be the culmination of achievement for dentist wanting to learn as much as they can....and it will be linked to sister companies, DentalXP, DentalXPAP, and a virtual tradeshow: XPsquared.

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank and re-rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked 1st - 10th. We like to earn points.
~~ After your contest closes it will enter Judging phase. You can re-rank designs in Judging.
~~ While in Judging, the designer ranked in first place can submit revisions

I do not want teeth or a tooth in the design. I want a formal looking insignia/logo for an organization. Can use objects like the world, caduceus, etc.

Colors: rich colors: black and gold; black and silver/platinum; purple gold, etc.

the 4 submissions currently at the top of the list are in the spirit and direction that I want this logo to go. Other options and variations are most welcomed and will be appreciated. Thank you all.

i would like to see more logos that thematically resemble the top ranked submissions

the top 5 are in the right direction
