Upscale Matchmaking services aka Patti Stanger and the Millionaire Club from the TV show. Local but also can work nationally. May franchise or open new locations in other cities after year one.
I wish there was a way we could have a main logo for altanexalux that can be separate from me for future franchising, but also have versions that work my name into it so that my personal brand is incorporated when I want it to be, ie locally, as that seems to work well for matchmakers, so I can write books, blogs etc as me and it promotes the company. Patti Stanger has the Millionaires Club but her name is part of the brand too. Not sure if that is even possible.
We also will offer Image Consulting, Photography Sessions for compelling unique fun photos of our clients to use in social media/dating sites/to show to potential matches etc and just to be able to see themselves in a whole new light to build confidence and relationship/dating coaching.
Image should be sexy in a professional way, even a bit playful and fun but still very upscale to appeal to millionaires. Colors - I do not know what colors should be used. My area is home to very conservative older people with beach mansions and private golf clubs. Vineyard Vines is huge here if you know what I mean. So the black and gold I first went with is too Vegas sexy. I need preppy sultry.

I am an executive recruitment business owner who has worked nationally and internationally for twenty years and have had my own business all this time. I am 'Headhunter turned Matchmaker'. (is that a slogan I should use?? I think it is my HUGE differentiator). Should I use myself is Margot the Headhunter turned Matchmaker as my brand tagline or name instead of what I have? Altanexa is my executive search firm, Lux means measure of intensity.
I tried to come up with logos using canva and came up with so many that I sort of liked but nothing I could stick with. I first made a black/grey sexy logo and business card as I think mostly men will be paying the large amounts for a full search. But I keep hearing of older women 60+ who want this service so I need something that can appeal to all, or do I have two different logos? I also own MatchbyMargot.com, MargotFinley.com, 904love.com , 904match.com (904 is my area code but I am not going to stay local, only using these in local instances maybe), and am open to ideas if you think I should be using any of these.
So you can see I am tired of trying to do this myself :) and want an identity that wows me that I can stick with once and for all.
The logos etc need to be ones I can find and easy for me to use in applications such as ripl and canva for ongoing social media posts etc.
