Design a unique logo for a Corporate Travel Agency

“TDG” and/or “Travel Design Group”

Travel Design Group is an Australian based full service Corporate Travel Agency which specialises in the provision of all travel related services for businesses, groups and individuals. We combine innovative technologies, enthusiastic consultants, proactive troubleshooting and a longstanding industry presence and knowledge to ensure we maintain the highest level of customer care and satisfaction.

Designers choice, but nothing too over the top - we are a corporate travel agency.

We are looking for a brand mark / logo that is unique, but simple. We are a Corporate Travel Agency and therefore it needs to represent this and be aligned with our corporate client base.
The logo can include “TDG” as the main element (in either lower case or upper case) but this is not necessary. If not using this as the main element there should be a symbol or other element that sits with the full name of “Travel Design Group” that is unique and not too literal in representing travel. With either of these approaches the brand mark needs to work on its own and also with the full company name. The brand needs to be iconic and instantly recognisable in the marketplace as a leader in the Travel Industry.
As we are completely rebranding, there may be an opportunity for the winning designer to continue to work with us on delivering additional designs (such as stationery, website, presentation material etc.).
Update: a couple of ideas that we have been playing around with in the lead up to this is a plane either as a paperclip or origami style (linking both the corporate and travel, but being a little playful with the design).
New Update: If you have a great idea to represent our corporate travel agency that is outside this specific brief - feel free to let us see what you have in mind. We are getting a lot of designs that are similar to each other and are looking for something unique and timeless.
