I see some really nice designs this is going to be a tough decision. I am thoroughly impressed by some of these designs. I really like the seals that use my initials, and the emblems/logos with my last name. Here is some clarity though, I am not looking for my name in a script font, and the star emblem labeled "Shepard Fairy Signature" is an example of someone else's logo, so please only use it as inspiration for your designs.

Alrighty I updated the brief with an attachment called "Ideation". Now that I've had some time to sit on it I think that I've come up with what I'm looking for. Basically what I'm looking for is the letter C with my last name as a fancy banner and a cross made of a feathered pen and a sword. I would like detail in the pen/sword. The letter C could take the shape of a shield.

I'm not sure which logo to pick there are too many good ones.

maybe?

The shield may be unnessesary.
