Professional investment company logo

We need a logo to use on our website, business cards, and letterhead. We are a private investment firm. The brand name “Flag Tree Capital” should appear in the image. A flag tree is a very strong tree that has been shaped by strong, consistent winds. The logo should evoke feelings of strength, persistence, resilience, and endurance. Clean, simple, traditional. Colors are flexible, but should not be more than a few.

We arelooking for a stylized picture of a tree that has grown lopsided from heavywinds.  It looks solitary, strong, and should convey a sense of strength,resilience and endurance. The name "Flag Tree Capital" should appearwith the image.Shouldbe very simple, elegant, and traditional. As a financial company, colors shouldbe appropriate.  The logo will go on business cards, a website andletterhead.
