Classic Text-Based Business Logo

I'm seeking a designer to create a classic, text-based logo for my new business.

Requirements:
- Traditional and sophisticated design
- Text-based format

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Strong portfolio in classic logo designs
- Expertise in typography and traditional aesthetics
- Ability to incorporate color schemes (to be discussed later)

I’ve included a few ideas we have come up with in our own. Thinking either green or dark blue for the background. Not sure about the triangle swoosh above the g, but definitely not in neon green.

Please provide samples of previous work and your approach to this project.
