Logo Design Brief
I run a site called Macrotrends at www.macrotrends.net. The site provides interactive investing charts for stocks/bonds/currencies/commodities. The site is focused on longer term perspectives in the market.
I'm looking for a logo that incorporates a clean, business font with an icon that combines charts/graphs with an investment focus. I would like to see both a logo that works on a white background as well as one that works on a black/dark background. The one with the white background I would prefer black, grey, blue color schemes to keep with the "conservative, trustworthy, financial" theme of the site. I would like the logo to be before the text on a single line as I don't have a ton of vertical space to work with in the site header.
The attached logo gives you an idea of the general style I'm looking for. The icon/logo should be related to charts/investing though and I would like the text to be a little less delicate than what is shown in the example.
Thanks,
John
