Modern Minimalist Logo Design

I'm seeking a skilled graphic designer to create a modern, combination-style logo for my brand. The logo should incorporate both text and a symbol, and prominently feature blues and purples. The name of my brand is Wicked Plum Cyclists and should incorporate some of these aspects. A pug or bear is also preferred perhaps riding the bike. The design should be eye catching but not too cartoonish.

Key Requirements:
- Modern, minimalist design aesthetic
- Combination of text and symbol
- Use of blue and purple color schemes

Ideal Skills:
- Expertise in logo design
- Strong portfolio of modern designs
- Proficiency in color theory and application
- Experience with vector graphics software (e.g., Adobe Illustrator)

Please provide a portfolio with your bids.
