Aeon Technologies logo with standalone symbol

We need a logo for Aeon Technologies. We also want a single logotype which can stand alone. The logotype should be an abstract geometric symbol, not a mock-up of the letter "A".

Aeon Technologies Ltd. / aeontechltd.com

Hello! Here is your mission, should you decide to accept it...

...Design a two color logo with an accompanying symbol

* Two colors (An optional gradiented area is ok but not preferred)

* Logo must contain as the most prominent feature the name 'Aeon Technologies'. 'Technologies' can be subordinate.

* The design must include an extractable graphic element which can be used, for example, as a favicon or end-of-paragraph logotype. This will also be used on promotional materials and ghosted in publications/collateral.

The company produces laboratory instruments and equipment. See http://www.ana-logix.com or http://www.gilson.com or http://www.varianinc.com or http://www.agilent.com for a couple of reasonable examples. Note: This logo should not be related to any of the above mentioned companies.

Simple is better.

- Minimal gradients, please!
- Complete logo on a white background (primary objective) in AI vector format
- Complete logo on a black background in native AI vector format
- Extracted symbol/icon/logotype on a white background in native AI format
- Two colors maximum. A small color gradient (using one of the colors only) is acceptable, but you must then provide one example each with the gradient element and with the gradient element represented as a solid color (for box/carton printing, for example)
- STRIKE THIS! Please do not! If possible, the logotype could be put into a font as a single character (example: A = logotype). NO! Please ignore. Sorry to all.

- Flourishes
- Religious intonations
- Controversial images
- Anything medieval or gothic
- Simple "A" as a logotype. Choose another shape, please.
- Stay away from Agilent's logo http://www.agilent.com. We like dots, but they should be different from Agilent.
