Logo Design Brief
Please create a logo to represent our company; Blue Water Ventures International. The organization is active in the field of Deep Sea Salvage, Shallow Water Salvage and Gold Mine acquisition.
Under-water operations deals with both Historical wrecks, as well as Modern day salvage opportunities.
We are also involved in historical research as well as modern day R&D in sea technology.
Our company is American and is also represented in Europe in London.
The Logo must represent the fact that we are a dynamic Blue Chip company targeting large investors such as hedge funds.
UPDATE - We are looking to bring the company logo up to date and show the company as modern and professional. I have updated this brief and removed the reference images as I don't feel the logo should be too literal (i.e. with boats) - it might be better to think more abstract with the focus being on creating a highly modern and professional logo aimed at investors. Many thanks.

Thank you all for your patience. I have been away dealing with some family business and haven't been able to give the regular feedback I would usually. I will be making a shortlist in the next few hours, discussing with my colleagues and selecting a design by this evening.
