As this will need to be printed, and possibly printed rather small, the clearer the design, the better.

The styles and colors highlighted are flexible; the current color pallet for the website we are designing is mainly #262F34 and #5A394A, with #837185 and #CAD4D9 accents. The design needs to transfer to black and white printing, however. Including the tagline is optional, but having the ability to include it would be a plus.

While the idea of a "hyphen" is important, it doesn't present the most unique form to work with; feel free to step outside the rectangle. Being literal with "hyphen" or "connection" isn't necessary.

I am fond of symbols/images, but I'm not married to any of the following:
- dark/rich shades of purple
- teal and/or silver accents
- chess knight(s)
- the god Ganesh and/or his axe (removing obstacles)
- a mouse (animal)
- Sailor Moon aesthetics (just throwing it out there (manga/90s = good; Crystal = nah))
- planetary symbol for Saturn
Again, this is just a smattering of things I like and aren't necessary to be part of the design. I don't want to over-complicate; I trust your ability to edit down my nebulous ideas.
