Promotional Products company needs an updated logo

Proven Promotions

We are a promotional and print products company. We provide our clients with their custom branded marketing materials including bags, drinkware, apparel, technology items, novelty products, printed materials like business cards and signage; all used to market their business or organization.

Our recently adopted slogan is 'The Right Products for Your Message.' We find the right products to suit our client's specific marketing needs. As we grow and evolve, I would like to put more emphasis on the creative use of these products to help our clients maximize the reach of branded and print products.

We are mainly trying to attract medium to large companies that have marketing budgets, and are looking for creative ideas for marketing products.

This is a revision of our existing logo, which I never loved, but stuck with while I have been figuring out the look I want.

I want the logo to include the words "Proven Promotions" and a unique symbol of some sort. Stick to 1-2 solid spot colors only (no gradients). Eventually, I would like a horizontal and vertical version for the logo. And, I would also like to be able to use the symbol on its own (like Nike uses their swoosh symbol, and Kotis Design uses their 'K' symbol).

I like the 'kotis design' logo (kotisdesign.com) and the 'Brewery Branding Co.' logo (brewerybranding.com); and the general branding that both companies design for their clients. I don't want my logo to look the same as their logos though, especially since we are competitors in the same industry; just want to show some art I like to give an idea of style.

Ive also attached a few other logo ideas that I like. Specifically, that they have a unique symbol and the wording.

Thanks!
