Modern Text-Icon Logo Design

I’m refreshing my brand identity and need a clean, modern logo that pairs text with a simple icon. The overall look should feel contemporary yet timeless, using a neutral, muted palette rather than anything bright or overly bold.

Here’s what I have in mind:
• Style: unmistakably modern—think crisp lines and balanced proportions.
• Colour direction: soft greys, beiges, or other understated tones that will sit well on both light and dark backgrounds.
• Composition: the brand name accompanied by an icon that reinforces the name or its core idea rather than an abstract shape with no connection.

Deliverables I’ll need:
• Primary vector file (AI or EPS) plus SVG for web.
• High-resolution PNG and JPEG exports at common sizes.
• A version that works on light backgrounds and one for dark backgrounds.

Please keep the icon straightforward, no intricate gradients or tiny details that disappear when scaled down. If you can share two or three quick concept sketches before finalising, that would help me choose the right direction. I’m ready to move ahead as soon as I see a portfolio piece that shows similar modern, neutral work.
