Hello and Good Afternoon,
Sorry to hear you had issues with your last contest here on LT, it's my pleasure to participate in your project. I've gone with a floral mark created with the letter 'V" . the 5 petal style also symbolized a "Star" that is associated with your industry.
The colour selection is not set in stone so we can adjust this to best suite you needs and if I may suggest that refining colour is critical so we can work together to finalize the design even after contest is ended, that is of course if you feel my work is the design you are looking for.
Respectfully
Scott
