Designing new logo for a brand we've been using for years. We've previously just used lettering, or in combination with our company logo.
Some of the values we're looking to portray: Clean, simple, quality software. modern, forward-thinking, innovators.
We've been playing around with the lightbulb idea. But some of the reaction has been that while it captures the "simple" part, it doesn't capture the "modern" part. I think if we could stylize or modernize the light bulb it might work better.
Not necessary, but if we gracefully include elements of our company logo, that would be nice. That's why we chose teal as the color.

Requirements
Must have
- Color teal from company logo.
Nice to have
- Project description says most of it. I'm liking the lightbulb idea, but needs to be more modern. I also like that the lightbulb has the letter "S" in the stem. But it looks a little old-fashioned, and we need modern.
