Logo Design Brief
We need a logo design for a new stock and options trading service where we deliver trading ideas to like-minded individuals looking to learn more about stock trading with the goal of growing their portfolios. The name of the trading service is called 'paperstak'. The name is derived from the slang term "stacking paper" which is the act of making an exorbitant amount of money in a short period of time (i.e "I'm stacking paper with all this overtime work!")
We would like the design to be clean, modern and somewhat simple. It should NOT be cartoon-like. The word 'paperstak' should be in lowercase, although we would be open to other suggestions. We have not fully decided on a color scheme and would like to see some different color variations. It would also be good to get some ideas with some form of abstract design of a stack of money (bills) and/or dollar sign incorporated into the logo.

Requirements
Must have
- PLEASE SEE THE LATEST EXAMPLE OF CONCEPT WE ARE LOOKING TO REFINE AND MAKE BETTER. WE LIKE THE IDEA OF CANDLESTICK/BARS YOU WOULD FIND IN A STOCK CHART BUT THINK THESE CAN BE MORE CREATIVE BY PROFESSIONAL DESIGNERS - WE HAVE GUARANTEED THE PROJECT - modern feel/modern type font, clean lines
WE LIKE THE DARK GREEN AND GREY COLORSCALE, BUT OPEN TO OTHER CLEVER DESIGNS/COLORS USING THIS CONCEPT
Nice to have
- possibly some form of abstract design like stacks of money or something that would look like candlesticks in a stock chart (example posted in the uploads)...but we want to to stay modern and clean (not look cartoony as we are going for a more upscale feel)
