Logo and Business Card Design Brief
I need a logo and business card design for a new business located in Birmingham, Alabama called 'Tech Releaf'. Note the spelling - ReLEAF was chosen to signify recycling, and also to give a sense of "we're going to take this off your hands, get it out of your way, etc." - a relief.
Tech Releaf provides a service to businesses by picking up their obsolete IT equipment (computers, copiers, monitors, fax, anything with a plug). We also offer on-site hard drive shredding for companies with sensitive info on their drives prior to taking their computers for recycling.
I'd like for the design to show that it is proud to be a green company, but it doesn't have to scream it either. Our customers use us for 2 reasons:
1. We guarantee their data is secure and 2. they get to feel good about recycling. Our promise is to recycle their electronics securely and responsibly. Some design elements that I've seen and liked has circuitry symbolism integrated. I like the idea of circuitry as the veins of a leaf, but it's not a must-have if your creative brains can trump that with a more unique thought. No recycling symbol clichés, please. If the concept of recycling can be conveyed without having the actual 3 arrows, that'd be fine.
Colors-wise, I like dark navy, kelly green, white, gray, but I'm open to any colors that look great together. Surprise me.
I don't want to hamper your creativity too much. These ideas and suggestions, remember, are coming from a non-designer. If you have a concept/colors scheme/symbol you believe better fits the business model, please feel free to run with it and submit. Bonus points given for outside-the-box thinking for sure.

Requirements
Nice to have
- Modern, stylish, and simple. Something that looks good on a navy background (likely the color of the shirts).
Should not have
- No traditional recycling symbol. Not too much detail in the logo. It's not necessary to cram every aspect of the business into the design. Neither the symbol nor the name should overpower the other.
