Hi There,
First of all, I'm very impressed with what I've seen in these forums, you guys have some very creative ideas!!! I'm trying to come up with a logo for our company and to make it fair, I've split it up into two jobs. The first one (this one) is based on a fairly mature idea I have for the logo, but I just don't have the skills to get my idea into reality. The second job will be wide open for a number of suggestions and will pay more, but I would like to work with the same person who wins this job, if possible.
Thanks,
Mike
Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
SA Photonics
What type of product or service do you offer?
Military communications systems, including RF (radio frequency) fiber optic and laser communications
When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
August 10th. I promise not to drag it out and ask for multiple revisions. I'd like to see one "volley" of suggestions from whomever is interested, I'll make suggestions, get one more "volley" and then decide upon a designer. Your time is too valuable for me to waste with multiple design cycles for something I'm pretty sure I know what I want.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
I would like a retro-type design, similar to the one in the image that I hope I uploaded (brand new here, so have some patience with me). This image is based on a font I downloaded called Air Conditioner but I don't need a font done. I'd like to convey the picture of a red laser beam going through the light blue font and exiting the end with some sort of small starburst (think of the font made with a fiber optic and you'll get the idea of what I want). The things I'd like to change in this image are:
1) All letters should be connected, even the capitals, at the bottom. The appearance should be of a connected length of fiber optic cable
2) I'm not crazy about the way the capital S and A look, feel free to make them look better
3) I don't like the way some of the letters connect mid-letter, they should all connect at the bottom
4) I'm not picky about the colors, but two colors should suffice. One should be light/ice bluish, conveying the image of a glass fiber and the other should be reddish, conveying the image of a laser beam. Bear in mind that these colors will eventually be "our" colors and be picked up as a theme on our new website so they can't be too garish :)
Please note that for this design, I'm really not looking for anything too far away from the uploaded image. For the next project it will be more wide open. Thanks for checking this out and I look forward to working with you all.
