We would like a logo with the letters SAE in it.  We would like the lettering to appear metallic in appearance (possibly platinum in colour) to reflect the state of art nature of our business. The logo is to have a sophisticated, high end look that reflects the specialist sector in which we work.  Mainly grey, silver, white with possibly one accent colur used in a single place (possibly the aircraft symbol as described later)  We would like a generic fast jet aircraft symbol shown in the logo that shows it moving (dynamic - see graphic).  This symbol could be integral to the letters - possibly using the letter A of SAE.  Showing the shadow of the aircraft on the foreground could be considered to give the logo some 3D depth.  Incorporation of an element of the engine symbols linked to the flying aircraft could be considered to represent the development of the aircraft from engineers drawing board to flight.  Any engine sillouette must look like the images in sillouette to avoid be associated with outdated engine technology.  This is one option that could be considered.  The whole engine symbol or a segment could be used.  This should not dominate the logo though as we are not an engine related company.  We deal with the whole aircraft.  The back ground should be white to ensure seamless integration onto white stationary or charts.  The attached logo shows an example of the colouring (greys, silvers, whites) and an example aircraft symbol.  The aircraft symbol cannot represent a real aircraft type (i.e. a F16 or F18 silhouette).  It must be a generic fast jet symbol, possibly just a delta shape.  The design should show some originality if possible and not just be the letters and the aircraft symbol.  This would be a little too simple.  Equally it should not be too busy.  Good luck
