Hi Karen — here are three first directions for your logo, all drawn from your notes: elegant and text-based, with a subtle geode detail, in black, ivory and champagne gold. They share the same wordmark; only the geode changes. Rate each one, leave a comment, and answer a couple of quick questions at the end. There are no wrong answers. — Arnaud

A realistic agate slice inside the “A” — the richest, most detailed take.

The geode simplified into smooth gold bands — clean, graphic, and right on your palette.

A small champagne-gold slice tucked into the “A” — the most understated of the three.
