Company is based in Newcastle Australia. It is a small economics consultancy I am just starting up. We will specialise in servicing sectors related to the visitor economy including arts and culture, sports and events, and hotels and aviation. I am passionate about using sutainability based meaurement frameworks that measure impact in not only economic terms, but also from a social, cultural and environmental perspective. In designing the logo please also provide suggestions for colour palettes to use in reports. Colour palette should have two or three main colours with a couple of different tints/shades each to provide options, as well as black/grey/white scales for professional reports/models. I'm naturally attracted to blue, so have considered an earthy greyish blue / earthy orange mix, but also open to professional opinions given I'm not great at this. My past work (Deloitte) had a blue/green mix so I don't want anything like that. There's also another Nova Economics firm in South Africa that I need to differentiate myself from (check out their website).
