Simple, Classic Logo Design for Real Estate Website

Silverback Realty

We just received $10M in funding for a market-changing disruptive real estate investment vehicle. The website will be focused initially on the California market, but our immediate growth plans include the rest of the Western US.

Founders are from the top-rated Wharton MBA school and have an extensive network.

Real estate buyers/sellers who are looking to pay smaller real estate commissions, but expect full-service and professional treatment.

The logo should be simple, classical and appropriate for both the website and business cards and signage. Attached are two examples of other "Silverback" entities that reflect what I would like to have.

Silverback Equity has a professional logo that is accentuated by the black background with grayscales and white for the logo and type. I would also prefer a black background.

Silverback Strategies has a simpler logo. I would also like something that is quite simple, but still recognizable as being associated with a "Silverback Gorilla".

The key is that the logo should help in establishing our brand as professional.
Cartoons, clip art, stock images are not acceptable.
