We need a logo for a company called Enterprise Innovation Initiative or ei2. We are looking for shapes or use of letters or words that will communicate innovation, design, simplicity, and professionalism. Attached is our current logo, but we feel like this leaves a lot to be desired.
A partner company is http://innovate.unl.edu who's logo and look is appealing.
Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Looking for a different look, all logs submitted had the word ei2 in them, nothing is catching our hearts, asking that designers, think outside of box. Thanks!
