Graphic Design Brief
I am Kalyss Mercury, a professional dominatrix, BDSM/kink educator and fetish model. My website has adult content, but not full nudity or explicit images. I focus on using BDSM as a way to liberate people from the chains of everyday life, responsibilities and boredom, turning fantasies into reality.
I am currently rebranding my web presence. I wish to incorporate a psychological/brainy approach to my already sensual based brand. I already have a specific idea for a logo (details below).
The logo graphic I am imagining involves the Mercurial caduceus with the two snakes encircling a woman's silhouette. This woman has wings and a crown. See "Logo sketch A" for a general idea. I would love the wings to be rather stylized, a bit tribal almost (see photos for ideas).
I go by Mistress Kalyss Mercury or MKM. My motto is "Mistress knows best." The fonts I am using for my website are Macondo Swash Caps, Alegreya and cinzel (decorative). Colour scheme: White and/or and/or silver and/or gold on a black background (my website has a black background). You don't need to include all the colors. The photos attached are for inspiration on the theme.
Once the logo is chosen, I will also need a web banner and business card design as well and maybe a few other bits for merchandising, so the "winner" gets to do further work for me.
My site is currently being redone, but the old one is still up. feel free to have a read to get a feel for my mission (link below).

I would be happy to have a skype chat to discuss design details.

New feedback:
I would like the halo to be in a different color in order to stand out (gold).
new images show the arm positioning for the lady. They should be up in a gesture of praise. with the hands turned up. Message me if you would like more clarification.
And for the record, the lady's hair should not interfere with her silhouette, so a strict pulled back style is best (pony tail, bun or braid).
Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: The current design due date ends right in the middle of my tour to the uk, so i may not have time to review and give feedback to all participants. But I return home on monday 26th of May, so one extra week will make things more simple.
Kinky Blessings for creative inspirations!

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: As I have received a few more designs, I wish to give these recent entries a chance to collaborate towards more of what I would like. I also have a large deadline with my academic work on June 6th, so I wouldn't be able to provide regular feedback to new entries.

Dear designers,
I've launched the poll and shared it on my FB and twitter. I will check the results and make my final decision on Sunday. Good luck to the three of you!
Kinky Blessings,

Requirements
Must have
- The key here is that the woman's silhouette is liberated and powerful, her arms should be up in a V as if raised to the heavens (like in the two images I posted). I would like the wings to look like one of the black and white styles I posted below.
Nice to have
- The snake heads don't need to be open and baring teeth, closed mouths give out a more peaceful feel (like the snake face I included in closeup). And use the crown design as shown... a bit like the Evil Queen in Snow white. I have included a couple of examples of the crown style I would like.
