The start of a new dynasty

Northews

Northews is a new company made up of the blended surnames of it's owners. It is a parent company of other business entities with diverse purposes.
WE are looking for a sleek and stylish logo/corporate identity to go on business cards, stationary and eventually our website.
As there is no one purpose or direction of our company the options for designs are endless...so we just want you to keep a few things in mind:

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" Leonardo da Vinci.
We want a logo that will withstand the test of time but still looks progressive.

We have no set colours and are open to designs with the name and a symbol or the name or first letter can be the symbol but need the name in there somewhere - even if it's very small.

Ultimately we would like it convey strength and integrity and have a global feel.

We are the target audience as it's not representing what we do as such but rather who we are.

We have no set colours and are open to designs with the name and a symbol or the name or first letter can be the symbol but need the name in there somewhere - even if it's very small.

Not too many colours but it can be on any colour background.

We have a background in international aviation but it doesn't define what we do. Aviation themes are of interest to us but not necessarily what we are looking for. We also like the infinity symbol but again it doesn't have to be included if it doesn't work with the logo or look of your design.

Please do not use any clip art or stock photos for the logo.
