We need a logo designed for a smartphone app called "Empower" that will provide tools and resources to victims of abuse. The app has a positive spin to it, and focuses on building on the users strengths. I like bright green, personally, but I am open to other colors or combinations of colors.
Updates
Having seen everyone's creative ideas, I now have a much clearer idea of what I am looking for. Here's the picture in my mind that I am sold on.. It is based on a combination of the last two photos that I uploaded (the red shield that is titled backward, and the shiny metallic E surrounded by a circle). I would like to have the shape of a shield, but having the arrows within, and, then have the "e" button inside this shield. I will upload a sketch right now because it is hard to describe in words, but the idea will be simple if you just take a look at my sketch. Overall, I really also like the shiny effect of the "e" example photo and would like to have this effect throughout the whole logo (this effect is achieved through highly contrasted shading I think).

New pictures have been uploaded. If you refer back to the previous photo that had many logo ideas on it, there was a red triangle with a bright dot, and the color intensity faded away as it progressed around the circle. I am also open to you using that instead of arrows (it will simplify the look further). Thank you and I am excited to see what you come up with.

Requirements
Must have
- I want the design to be based on a triangle with a button in the middle. A key feature of the app is allowing the user to "check in" on the current level of tension/ safety in the relationship. So I like their to be a sense of movement or "button-like" feel to the logo.
Nice to have
- I would like the logo to have a three dimensional feel, based on their being some shading to make it "pop". see the new photos i uploaded
