Forge One - Property Investment Firm

This is what "Forge One" with an easy way to add "Group" "Housing" and "Holdings" was looking for in their logo design

I am looking to a design a logo for "Forge One" which is a holding company for the Forge One Group and Forge One Housing and Forge One Holdings.

I am looking for a logo that says "Forge One" with an easy way to add the words "Holdings", "Housing" and "Group" interchangeably. It should look like old money and be sophisticated.

The reason for the name of "Forge" is because my last name is steel and what hardens steel? a Forge.

I would like a strong logo that combines text and an icon that can be paired with the text of the logo and stand alone. I'm looking for something "strong","Iconic" and "Classy"

I attached a color palette that I liked but did not really care for the logo; it wasn't "IT" for me but interesting.

I do not want anything with:
Flamethrower
Anvil

A house in the logo or anything that looks like a house. Read more
