a Logo with Flair

Need a fantastic design incorporating most (if not all) of my points outlined in the description. =)

*** want to edit and state that i would need a vector file for this project.
my apologies if this indeed causes any trouble with the submissions thus far. ***

A brief scan of my last contest will show a previous logo design for a florist I worked for. No longer under their employment, definitely seeking something cool for my own independent floral design business (aka FLAIR).

I adore the submissions from the previous contest. Looking for something similar in style (sleek, contemporary, trendy, etc).

Upscale/modern feel.

DO NOT feel obligated to use something floral in the design. Though I am a floral designer, I would like to convey a trendy yet striking commercial appeal. I am looking to use the logo in various web and print applications. Do not need/want anything bulky or overly detailed.

Nothing too feminine.

Feel free to use color as necessary but keep in mind that I would prefer a limited use of color. I would want the logo to look great regardless of what it is used on (ie various backgrounds, etc).

Would prefer a symbol to identify the business but would also want text. Keep in mind that the text and symbol SHOULD be able to work independently (ie. in stickers, stamps, etc). Similarly to previous contest, I like classic symbols like the fleur de lis, the heraldic symbol in my avatar, etc. Something applicable should work. Willing to give any symbol a chance providing that the designer can make it work with the business name.

I found this design challenge a bit daunting myself so I am hosting another contest. I have complete faith in the designers here.

business name: FLAIR

soon-to-be website: ADDSOMEFLAIR

(this information is just to give you an idea of how the name will be used. hopefully it will help in design.)

- sleek, contemporary, commercial, sense of style, classic
- clever, unique symbol
- symbol and text to work independently of themselves
- a careful use of color
- vector format file

- an elementary design
- something overly floral
- a design that reveals you haven't read my description
