I need a new logo for a consulting company based in Sydney, Australia.
The company is called 'Red Cat'. Consulting services will be provided to small and medium businesses in a variety of areas: compliance, financial, marketing and strategy/planning.
The logo should be bold, striking, yet elegant and sophisticated. I would like it to communicate passion, intelligence and efficiency.
I would prefer the logo to be one colour (such as all red).
I do not want red mixed with black, white, gold, green or yellow.
The red should have some warmth and depth to it - ie not a 'stop' sign or fire engine red which tends to communicate danger or warning.
I would like an elegant font and a clever 'cat' design/image to be integrated with the wording. I have attached a sketch of a possible logo idea that includes the eye, whiskers and nose of a cat integrated in the wording. I am open to the cat image being the silhouette of a cat. If a silhouette cat image is provided, I would prefer the cat to be poised and alert (not stretching, lying down).
It would be ideal if the logo is sleek, elegant, compact and clever!
