Business Card Design Brief
If you ever seen a Ralph Lauren Polo shirt, you will know that the signature of that shirt is small monogrammed icon on the left pocket. I envision my personal business card using some of these elements. I am in the oil exploration industry, which is very conservative and I want a card that looks great but still reflects that classic conservatism. I specifically do land management work, which means I determine who owns mineral rights, I lease those rights for larger companies to then drill for crude oil and natural gas
1. I have designed a small logo (which definitely could use some help) that I would like to be pretty small, centered in the middle of the card, and near the top of the card (color - navy blue or similar) Please feel free to make this logo infinitely better. However, I am not looking for anything abstract/
2. I want my name and designation (Tyler C. Gillespie, RPL) centered in the middle of the card. As far as font, I'm looking for a classic, strong (almost masculine) cursive font (I realize masculine + cursive is a little oxymoronic) and I would like it to the color to be Gold.
3. I would like my name (see above) to sit on top of a thin, centered navy blue (or similar) line as if it were almost a signature on a line. I want the lower-case letters that normally would dip below the line (which is y and p in my case) to do the same. I'll attach an example to help illustrate what I mean.
4. The rest of the card is my contact information. Because I am shoot for a more centered and balance look, I would like the placement of my contact information to also be centered and balance. Font should be a very classic, professional font. My first inclination is to use black for the color but I'm open to other suggestions.

Contact Information for Business Card
I've posted a new logo that needs some clean up and a new idea for the top and bottom border of the card. I would like the logo to be centered in the top border with a white barrier on either side between the logo and the border. I've also posted color codes below.
