Quirk,
Nice concept, can I see a version with different fonts?

Also maybe a horizontal version with text next to logo. Great start

Artemii, little too airline vibe for me. Got another idea?

Quirk, can we try a gradient background to get the arms to stand out a bit?

Quirk, random idea. What you think of the handshake inside the horizontal line in a capital A?

Lutfi - I like the first one better than the second. Can you do something different with the AlumniAgent text. Stick with your first submission for changes.

Artemii - very nice. The A is very creative. Can I see it in different colors?

I tried incorporating the handshake into a capital letter A, but I couldn't make it look good. Sorry.

Artemeii - our team really likes number 4. if you have any other ideas, use that as a starting point.

Quirk - can we get a horizontal version with the font you used on your first sample, in a different color scheme, perhaps blue on grey and if you can somehome incorporate an "A" anywhere in the hands image that would be nice.

Quirk - A cufflinks, I was wondering what that would look like. Can you add the slogan "Alumni Hiring Alumni"?
