Logo Design Brief
We at 350Solutions (note, no space) serve as a sort of Consumer Reports or Good Housekeeping Seal of approval provider for new cutting edge innovations in the environmental and energy sector. We test and evaluate new technologies to make sure they do what the developer claims they do. A large part of our effort is focused on technologies that reduce CO2 emissions. We need two logos with the same design basis. (1) First is just our corporate logo. We have a color scheme selected already and developed our own initial logo just to get our website up - see www.350solutions.com (image also uploaded). We are open to any variations, but the color scheme should be that family of orange and greys. We just want something better! FYI, The icon is a representation of a CO2 molecule. (2) The second logo would be a variation that incorporates same design principles as the primary logo , but provides a certification mark for our testing reports. Our testing programs are completed under the umbrella of an ISO standard (ISO 14034). At the end of a test, we provide a 'Verification Statement' that publicizes the results. Other groups like ours have used a Verification logo or mark - usually a variation of the business logo with a check mark incorporated. That's what we are looking for here. I could see something along the lines of the '350' with a check mark placed in the '0' or something. We would like it to include the word 'verified' and the standard label 'ISO 14034'. I uploaded an example for reference.

Requirements
Must have
- Color scheme is orange and gray. See website and temporary logo uploaded (different shades are acceptable). www.350solutions.com
Nice to have
- Since we do quite a bit of work on CO2 emissions, a representation of CO2 (molecule) would be a nice icon, but not required and open to other concepts
