Established chain of tutoring centers needs to update their image. We provide after school tutoring for 4nd through 12th grade. Currently using several variations of our company name with a hat.Have been using several versions of design since 1987. Want new logo to include only the letters ACI (upper or lower case OK) with the option to add a location name, similar to the watercolor logo. (too sloppy) or the FB profile pic. Biggest problem from the past: hat looks too awkward standing alone with ACI. OK to remove the hat. Target market :American high school students, affluent and cool.

Dear All,
Have eliminated all the designs that aren't working for us. You can see a trend in the ones that we have kept. Modern, lower case aci and something that hints of academia. Appreciate everyone's efforts so far... almost there!
