While I find the shield not effective enough (red-black doesn't work for us in the logo and the star has no meaning) we appreciate the effort. I invite you to test other solution for the logotype (the "V" is the one I personally found, but I am open to other ideas, even characters). Personally I don't deel the font convey the feeling of solidity I am looking for. But I like a designer that is ready to get and USE feedback.
