    Firstly, thank you for considering this post.

    I know exactly what I need but can't draw any better than stick people. :)

    Here's the logo specifications:
    1. A shield with a book on the front
    2. Two kneeling angels with wings facing each other (one male, one female)
    3. Banner with words "Vincit Omnia Veritas"
    4. Letters on shield "V.S.B.I."

    Colours: I'm partial to blue, gold, black, and white. I'm open to a metallic look for the shield as well.

    The logo has to be clean and neat to be used in a variety of places from a website header, a letterhead, a business card or even a ring. So any text used must be able to maintain readability at various sizes.

    Here is my rough attempt at visualizing my idea:
    CLICK HERE to view my crude attempt

    Contents Ends: In A Week or Until I find the best match.

    I think this may be a challenge for some of the most talented people on DP. But then there are some pretty amazing people on here.

    Thank you in advance for your participation and good luck.

    Thanks everyone for your contributions thus far. Wow, I know that you are a talented group.

    Here's my feedback:

    Common feedback for all:
    - The angels are too big in all of them. The angels could be half as tall as the shield.
    - Male and female looking into each others eyes. good.
    - Hands on the shield. good.
    - The text "Vincit Omnia Veritas" could be in small caps and needs to be curved with the banner. Use same colour as the VSBI

    Specific Feedback:
    - T.J.Detwiler: I'd like to see your design with the banner from #4. The top of the shield could be rounded like #3. VSBI could be centered in the new space. I prefer the book with the red book mark in it shown with the 2 shields. The female could lose the neck jewelry and the head band as well as the male.

    - sparkle92: Book should be as I mentioned to above. The angel wings are too large and needs to be smaller and more crisp. Seems too fluid as it is. Please make the guy more pleasant and neaten up the hair.

    - logo.master: remove the roses from the book and make it as #2. The short hair angel still looks too feminine. Please make that angel a male. Try gold for the shield instead of yellow as the color is too close to the hair color of the angel on the right.

    Thanks so much all of you. :)

    It's really coming along. Could we see the angels about 20% smaller. Can we see the motto in small caps. I think the other book you used was more catching. Could we see it with that one.

    Thanks

    It's really coming along. The new male is good. Could we see the angels about 20% smaller. Can we see the motto in small caps. Could we make the wings smaller and closer to their bodies.

    Thanks :)

    Looking good! Female angel is missing breasts. The shield is showing between her arm. Looks anatomically incorrect. Please include breasts in that area. Letters in the motto should be uppercase. The first letter of each word should be slightly bigger than the rest of the word. Can you use the 3D book from TJ on your design. The book size is is fine.

    Thanks.

    The book is too big. Please make the book 30% smaller. Letters in the motto should be uppercase. The first letter of each word should be slightly bigger than the rest of the word.

    Looking good. Could I see it with the angels lowered so that their feet and calves are hidden behind the banner. Also, the bottom of the shield seems to be missing the border.

    Thanks.

    Hey TJ and logo.master,

    Thank you both for taking the time to work on this project. You are really quite talented. I'll have a decision for you after I receive those final revisions. My associates will have a look.

    Cheers!
