Create a sophisticated and stylish logo for 'The CV Stylist' professional CV writers

The CV Stylist

est. 2016

We create tailor-made bespoke CVs for professionals - both content and design. We interview clients via telephone/Skype to understand their background, experience and skills and then we tailor make a CV specific to their individual needs and level. We work with the client to finesse the content, and also create the CV with formatting, etc. We also produce Linkedin profiles, cover letters, job application forms etc. and provide general career advice. Our Founder is a headhunter with fifteen years Board level executive search ('headhunting') experience across many sectors including retail, consumer, tech, media, healthcare, government and not-for-profit. We offer a high-touch, individual solution to senior executives and professionals. Words to describe the brand are: professional, stylish, modern, ahead of the curve, sophisticated, knowledgable, intimate.

I'd like to explore the following colors:

Light neutrals: Purity, balance and sophistication.
Dark neutrals: Formality, mystery, exclusivity and luxury.
Let designers make suggestions:

Possibly want "est. 2016" incorporated into the logo, possibly not (would ideally like to see options with and without). Like the idea possibly of having a traditional style fountain pen nib outline incorporated into the logo, or possibly some other traditional writing style logo e.g. typewriter or 'work' type illustration.

Additionally, like the idea of a modern brushed handwritten style logo which incorporates both paintbrushed style name and also typewritten style additional info e.g. 'est 2016' -
