I want to find a brand/design for a new business in London, UK called 'Cohort Associates'. We help, predominantly US-based fintech firms expand their business into Europe, using London as a regional base. I have no preference on colors, but need the logo to reflect the name 'cohort' - meaning 'a group of people with a shared characteristic', making it clear that we are all part of the same team once engaged - I don't want the logo to look too traditional - looking for something modern, and in line with the buzz around the fintech industry.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I have received a number of good designs, but am still looking for more to shortlist - simplicity and originality are the keys to what I am looking for. Thanks to all the designers so far, I will go through them all in the next few days and decide on each one.
