Logo Design Brief
Need to spice up our existing logo that can be viewed on our website www.chinasageconsultants.com. The current logo is a calligraphy-style rendition of the map of China. The red dot represents Shanghai which is the location of our HQ. Interestingly, our core business is a China sales outsourcing program called China Sales Incubator or CSI for short. In viewing the logo, you will see it is actually made up of a "c", and "s" and an "i". This was actually a serendipitous byproduct of replicating the map of China.
We need to improve our logo design to be a little stronger, a little more Chinese in flavor, able to exude more meaning. We want to keep with the a two-color design using either a dark blue or black and the red dot. The lines (strokes) could be made to look more like brush strokes. We are open to your ideas.
Updates
We appreciate your ideas. Some are interesting. We plan to wait on seeing a few more ideas before making specific comments to each of you. Thanks for you efforts and patience.

Requirements
Must have
- Structure a map of China from a "c", an "s" and an "i". Two color one being the red dot. Lines that look like brush strokes though open to radically different concept if you have one.
Nice to have
- Looks good on website, business cards and flyer banners. Text is optional. Current logo has no text though we sometimes include company name on letterhead. See attached files. If you choose to include text it can be the name of our services "China Sales Solutions" or company name as either "China Sage Consultants" or shortened to "China Sage".
