Logo Design Brief
We are setting up a new venture capital firm in San Francisco that invests in technology, healthcare, and financial services startups. We need a logo for our firm, and are looking for designs with a clean, modern, corporate look. Our theme color is dark red, with gold as the alternate color, set against a white background. Most importantly, we are looking for a graphic to accompany the text "paraclete capital" (which is in Trebuchet MS, a sans serif font). See attached PNGs as a point of reference re: colors and font. All that being said, we recognize that we are investors, not artists or designers, so please feel free to get creative!!
Target Market(s)
Logo should be "corporate" enough to be used on company letterhead that will go out to investors, but modern / fresh enough that will be attractive to startups looking at our website.

Requirements
Must have
- Theme colors are red (RGB scale 191-30-45) and gold (RGB scale 255-192-0), on a white background.
Nice to have
- "Paraclete" is a Greek word meaning "advocate, helper, counselor, intercessor". To the extent your logo can evoke that meaning, that would be a bonus!!
Should not have
- Please do not enter a submission with just stylized text. The logo MUST have a graphic to go with it. Thank you!
