Star with soft edges?&lt;br&gt;-	How not to make it look too girly given the radiant orchid color choice?  How to balance with the other 1-2 colors?&lt;br&gt;-	Needs to appeal to small start-ups as well as larger established corporate America companies; will be seen internationally in other countries (EU, Asia, South America) so needs to span across cultures&lt;br&gt;

He was a pleasure to work with.  Quick to submit logo designs and revisions.  100% recommend him!!
