Brief updates

Thanks for your submissions so far.

After seeing some of the results I'd like to clarify what we're looking for...

Please focus on the "surge" element when incorporating images or designs. The word "surge" refers to the dramatic increase in website traffic and niche authority that our company is able to create (ie. "surge" ahead of your competitors in terms of website traffic, income, niche authority, PR, etc).

Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again!

When implementing a creative aspect that conveys "surging forward", consider this definition of surge: "To move suddenly and powerfully forward or upward"

Thanks,
Jeff

Here's further clarification...

We're starting to focus more on a logo that incorporates a zig zagging chart line such as this image: http://goo.gl/drVr1

IMPORTANT: this image isn't exactly what we want, but gives you a good ides.... the zig zag we want should start at a low level around the same average level then "jump" up quickly to zig zag at a higher average level). Please contact me with questions, and thanks for your time!
