I need a logo for a new men's lifestyle blog. Primarily focused on USA, men from 24-late 30's. Blog style format, but with some product we sell. Competition would be a GQ or something similar. Need the logo to reflect style, masculinity. Would like to have some use of the negative space to indicate a picture of a man / some manly object. Does not have to be full words for "modern mens collective" but something like "MM" and 'Collective' below or some unique use of "MM" or just "M".
Target Market(s)
men from 24-late 30's.

Logo Text
We don't have a slogan, need a symbol instead, perhaps just with "MMC" or something similar, or focus on the word 'collective' and have the MM be just the letters, or something.
