Speaker/trainer Bug And Logo

Randy Dickson & Associates is a training and consulting group. The company's primary has established the company as an offshoot of a company that focuses primarily on public-sector training. In contrast, RD&A will focus on public speaking and training (in that order), and the clientele will be primarily private sector/corporate.

Ideas and concepts to avoid:

In the public speaking/training arena, microphones, podiums, figures/characters holding microphones, etc., have been overused. The logo doesn't specifically need to address speaking and training. Generally, the look should be professional but dynamic.

For the bug, one area to consider is a medallion look (think J.D. Powers & Associates), but with a play on the initials RD. Embossed/engraved looks are okay.

A color concept has been established that incorporates dark teal blues and deep golds - all accentuated with black.
