Logo Design Brief
We are starting out small - one person to build the company from the logo up! Company will be located in Canada, likely Alberta or eventually Newfoundland.
We will focus on integrated marketing communications strategy and execution.
The business name is Cob Communications. Cob was the nickname my uncle gave me as a kid, for no good reason. But it is also a mining process where you separate the good from the bad. Fitting since I will be creating integrated marketing communications plans and executing them.
Updates
Thank you for your designs. I know the brief was a little more wide open than I originally would have written but I didn't want to eliminate creativity in any way. Looking at the designs, I've fine-tuned the brief. If you're interested in taking a look, please do. I appreciate the interest and participation!

Requirements
Must have
- I've taken a look at all the designs so far and have narrowed the requirements quite a bit.
Looking for:
A. Text + icon - Variations of 1. cob, 2. cob communications, and 3. both with logo that can stand together or alone as needed
B. Name spelling - cob communications all lower case
C. Font - should be "streamlined", clean, simple, classic,
D. Colours - should be greens (and black or grey if needed)
E. Cob has a an open sound so looking for "open" circular design
I like the style of this PR firm except there is no logo and it's far more minimilistic

Nice to have
- -icon could be circular and simple. can show "layers" or integration (for integrated marketing communications)
-icon could fit as part of the word if that works, but only an idea
