Logo Design Brief
MPA Computers is looking for a new emblem logo to brand our custom built computers. We are a technology solution center based in Southeast Iowa that offers computer repair and sales for both Mac and Windows. We also provide training and networking services. Our company also develops websites and print collateral.
We will be re-branding everything with this new logo: website, print materials, storefront signs, etc.
You can view a full list of our services and team at our website: http://www.mpacomputers.com
We currently use this hex value: #177382 as our primary accent color. You should use this color or metallics for the logo/emblem. (Use your own discretion.)
We want our logo to come across modern, technological, and professional but not too corporate. We also would like to steer clear of a "clipart" look.
If you would like to see our current logo, take a look at our website at http://www.mpacomputers.com. We don't like the current logo because it is too difficult to read.
We are thinking that "MPA" should be the primary letters within the emblem, with "Computers" being a secondary feature. Quite honestly, we aren't dead set on this, and are totally open to suggestions and your creative input.
We need to have this logo in vector format. Thank you!
Updates
We are noticing that in a lot of logos submitted, the text "computers" is put in almost the exact locations as it is in our current logo. The "computers" text is also too small in a lot of them.

We would also like to remind everyone that we would like a logo with the specific hex value described in the brief, or a substitute of metallic colors. This is necessary because we have started branding many things in our office as well as promotional items with those colors, and we don't want to scare our customers off with too much of a change.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: We are very pleased with what has been submitted so far. We have several options in mind that need just a little tweaking to fit our brand in mind, and we have left feedback to those designers that we wish to see revisions for. We would also like to see more entries from invited designers.
We haven't been able to just look at a logo and say "That's it! No more looking!" yet. We're confident we will with you guys, though!
Thanks for all of your efforts thus far!

Requirements
Must have
- Vector format deliverable please!
Only the colors indicated in the brief.
Nice to have
- A "badge", circle or emblem behind the text. (UPS) kind of feel.
Should not have
- "Computers" below the "PA" in "MPA" like in our current logo. This causes the text to be too small when scaled down.
A clipart feel
Any other colors besides what we have described in our brief.
