We need a catchy yet professional logo for a T-shirt company we are launching online and also co-exist with our Brick and Mortar business.
We reach a diverse set of Pilots, Airline pilots, military pilots, Helicopter, general aviation, students and instructors.
We want to give them a logo that doesnt just say airplanes vs helicopters, but something that stands out with "Flying" being in the air is what we and all my pilots friends live for. So we need a logo that can represent that.
I have included my Helicopter company logo, but my company is both airplanes and helicopters, and we are appealing to the whole flying community. So lets communicate to people who love the skies! It doesnt matter how we get up there.
Photos attached should provide inspiration only.
Text in my logo is purely optional, I can add text later but I included it to be thorough to all the great designers out there.

Requirements
Must have
- 1-3 color logo. Must have something to do with aviation, like a set of wings.
Nice to have
- Nice to be able to combine airplane and helicopter, but something that appeals to the whole flying community. Wings are typically world known. But not necessary, as I am looking for a create, sharp and new logo.
Should not have
- Cartoonish characters, or lights shades (feminine colors like pink), should not be too complicated either. Should not have too much detail, simple is key here. clean lines are paramount
