Thanks for your efforts, but we need to think much more conceptually. Lets use the specific graphic words with a more clever consideration.

Could you give us ideas of what your looking for? Maybe some examples of logos you like, so that we can get a feel for the look your interested in.

Thank you,

Stephanie

I don't have any logo examples, but the following words have many connotations and graphic opportunities:

checks
balances
time = money
time is money

A balance is a kind of equation and so is the statement "time is money".

The terminology of "Checks n' Balances" as it relates to governing and creating a redundant system to ensure quality and oversight - how our government is supposed to work.

Can we work up some sketches with this in mind?

Okay, here's another try....

That's a start. The graphic could evolve. Keep thinking along those lines. How can you bring the typography into play. A check could be in the "k" of checks, and maybe a balance in the "ala" of balance.

Everyone, I am sorry to say that there is nothing usable for use here. How can I help the existing designers create something more polished or attract new designers to submit designs.

Dewa Jaya.

I really like this look. Can you play with a little and see what else you can come up with. Maybe you can re-inforce the concept of "Balance" - although I already see balance in your graphic. Can you try a different font?

Freetime.

In version one I see an icon of a Check inside a 4 point circle that looks to represent a clock. Can you make something that uses this icon as the primary graphic. Drop the $ and the court house graphic. Take the icon and make a few variations on the stroke, shape, texture and position of the elements. Maybe the two strokes of the check √ could be the arms of the clock.

Esiey.

You solutions is elegant. I would like to see some variation. I like the graceful curved strokes. Maybe the long stroke of the √ character could be the vertical stroke of the $ character.

Ok everyone. I see three pretty good options. I am going to extend the deadline until next Monday.

I would love to see a few new ideas, both from current designers, and from new designers.

Having had been a designer myself, I know that my first design is never the last design. I make many sketches, and variations. I would assume that you all have more ideas and options to present.
