Modern Consultancy Logo Design Needed

I’m ready to refresh my consultancy’s brand with a clean, modern logo. The company advises businesses on strategy and operations, so the mark should feel professional and forward-thinking while remaining approachable.

Here’s what I’m after:
• A distinctly modern aesthetic—think balanced geometry, crisp lines and contemporary typography.
• Colour palette is flexible; I’m happy to consider your recommendations once you’ve explored a few options that convey trust and expertise.
• I’m open to an icon-only, text-only, or combined lock-up, as long as it works well in both full-colour and single-colour applications.

Deliverables
• Vector master file (AI or EPS)
• Web-ready PNG and SVG in transparent background
• Horizontal and stacked variations, plus a reversed or monochrome version for dark backgrounds
• Brief style guide (font names, colour values, spacing rules)

Please share a quick note on your creative approach and a couple of relevant logo samples. I’ll be responsive with feedback so we can iterate efficiently and land on a design that makes our consultancy stand out.
