The name of my company is CHS Tax & Business Services, PLLC. The line under that says Certified Public Accountants. I am a small certified public accounting (CPA) firm. I am looking for a logo for my emails and business cards that focuses on the initials CHS, but it would ideally incorporate the whole name. Currently the line under the name says Certified Public Accountants, which would be nice to keep, but is not critical. It needs to be clean lines, modern, conservative, and promote trust, strength, and confidence with it's design and colors. I would like it with a slight edge or creativity to give it a small amount of extra style to make it stand out from the most conservative logos.

Logo Text
I'm not sure, definitely CHS. If you can incorporate the whole business name into the design that's great, if you can include Certified Public Accountants that's even better. But CHS is the primary purpose of the logo.

Requirements
Must have
- The initials CHS in the actual logo. Must be able to incorporate the full name CHS Tax & Business Services, PLLC somewhere in or around the logo. Must be clean and clear to read, use trust and loyalty invoking colors as the main colors (I'm told that's blue and green, but am open to interpretation), additional secondary colors are ok. Must look professional and modern.
Nice to have
- Something to make it appear just a little edgy or creative, so it's not boring. But that can't distract from the professional and trustworthy image.
Should not have
- Anything that makes it look feminine or artsy or cute.
