The 'duck dive' is a maneuver used by surfers to swim underneath an oncoming (coming towards you) wave to avoid being hit by it. The analog to our business is that our services provide a way for small businesses to push through their own obstacles and this is a motif that I'd like to have in the design if possible.

First and foremost, I'm looking for a modern, minimalist, flat look; I believe the sample logos above do a great job of this, ottercrew being my favorite of the bunch. Another thing I love about these logos is that the logo image itself can stand alone without the type and still be usable and recognizable.

EMPHASIS ON FLAT AND MINIMALIST.

I've attached an image of a surfer duck diving to save you a google search, as well as some random designs I've come up with and found here and there just for idea's sake, but please, flex your creativity.

Thanks all!

•  Logo should symbolize "impact" in some way. think...'bang' 'pop' 'explosion' 'burst' 'comet' 'combust' 'reverberation' 'shock' 'smash' 'hit' 'jolt' 'breaking apart'
•  Colored logo must be able to be adjusted to black and white versions for different backgrounds 
•  No gradients. Only solid colors.
•  “VisibleImpact” to be used as one word, with Visible and Impact separated by color and/or font weight
•  Impact should stand out more than “Visible”
•  Logo should consist of a logo mark and the name
•  we would like it to translate into a horizontal and vertical version

Other descriptions of our brand are:
Impactful
Bold / strong
Exciting / vibrant
Focused / professional

Main brand colors should be a red, a charcoal grey, a blue and white. Very important that the red and blue NOT look like the American flag
 
FONT 
•	Modern, strong, sleek
•	Should have light, regular, bold and condensed versions

For the mark:
no checkmarks
no lightbulbs
no exclamation points
be careful with anything curved or "swoosh" like
would prefer not to have VI initials, unless you do something creative with the initials

we would suggest the colors to be a mix between pink and light grey however we are open to suggestions 
The logo has to reflect elegance, simplicity and probably an impression of high end designs 

Very quick to get back to me with modifications, and I LOVE the final product! Thank you!
