We need a logo design for a think tank in Sweden, called "Tillväxtbarometern" (thats an "a" with two dots), meaning "Growth Barometer". The think tank runs forums, seminars and publishes reports on macroeconomic trends and themes. It's been around since 1997, and the target audience consists of CEOs, CFOs and board members of large Swedish multinational companies. Although the subject matter is pretty "dry" and "serious", we would like to see designs that also focus on the method employed: dialogue and meetings, not just charts and sermons. Modern, but still conservative. The final design should communicate an institution, a network, and a global outlook.

Nice to have
- One of the uploaded logos is of the company running the think tank (Blue Institute) - some kind of affiliation would be nice to have (e.g. colors), but it's not a must.
