bleh lost a lot of resolution when I made the file. Anyways its an inverted shield with a fingerprint font 'R' .. the inverted shield looks like an 'A' ... you can modify it to your liking and stuff.

Tac you mind if I think your logo is insanely original? I took a couple minutes to redo another version if you don't mind:


EDIT: Don't pay 500$ for a business card design unless your company is becoming big... it takes no more than 15-30min for a professional to make one if he is inspired. A programmer friend of mine found an app for his phone that used photos taken from his phone and compare them on the web in seconds to find its source (A bit like the app that analsyses ambient music to find the soundtrack title...). Turns out a lot of graphic artists are VERY LAZY!!!  :bolt:

LOL...Ask him what is his intent with the LOGO...
What type of media is it going to reproduced on?
Only B/C?
 How about letterhead?
EPS?
Direct Mail?
 brochures?
what color of paper?
What type of paper?
is he willing to pay for 2 color printing vs 1 color?
 Is is going to be reproduced on a Digital copier?
or a real printing press?
What is the logo supposed to tell the customer?  

I gave my first impressions  of what those Logos looked like...What they said to a potential customer.

ask the right questions as a Graphic designer would ....... Good luck with your new business...:)

I think if you changed the background "shield"  turn it upside down it would really look like a "shield"  it would have a good subliminal message, "shield" protection.

There you go.  Now you've thrown out some things to consider instead of being condescending.  

Edit: Wait.. was he being condescending.  I'm a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.

So we live in a world of no Criticism? all we do is beyond reproach? Really?

Plus I made the point that It takes more than some illustrator skills to create a Logo that works For the company and the mediums its intended for.
