The design should have the following

<p><b><u>New More Refined Brief</u></b></p><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">We are seeking a design of a logo for "SERAPHIM Jones" that is bold, attention-grabbing, and adaptable/scalable for printing on various surfaces, particularly apparel &amp; clothing.</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;">The logo must have a balanced &amp; rhythmic composition with a strong central focus on the word "SERAPHIM" with complementary visual elements like flames, wings, and a cohesive color palette.<br><span aria-label="" class="c-mrkdwn__br" data-stringify-type="paragraph-break" style="box-sizing: inherit; height: 8px; display: block;"></span><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Requirements are as below:</b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><br></b><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Typography</b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- The word "SERAPHIM" must be the focal point of the logo as it holds immense value to the brand. "Jones" should have a subdued or secondary font that compliments the overall logo but does not draw a lot of attention to it.</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- For SERAPHIM the font should be bold, legible, and stylish, with a modern yet slightly ethereal or divine feel. We can try Gothic serif, graffiti style font (not to be funky or brutal), or Scriptive with neutral tones &amp; not towards the feminine spectrum. For JONES, the font could be Sans Serif or Block Fonts that have a slight contrast to the above-used font for SERAPHIM.</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- The letters must be filled with solid colors, avoiding gradients or overly intricate patterns, to ensure compatibility with screen printing and embroidery. A combination of colors on fonts can also be tried, provided it does not conflict with the overall balance.</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><br></b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Iconography</b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- The dot above the "i" should feature a flame design that resembles a rosebud but leans more toward a flame in appearance i.e. Rosebud itself is a flame &amp; doesnt complicate it towards the Rose bud shape itself keeping a more clever negative iconography</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- The flame must use traditional flame colors (red, orange, and possibly hints of yellow) to add vibrancy.</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><br></b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Wings</b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- Wings should extend from both sides of the word "SERAPHIM."</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- The design of the wings should be intricate yet not overwhelming. They should enhance the word "SERAPHIM" without distracting from it or without overcomplicating the composition.</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- The wings should be stylized in a way that works well in both black-and-white background and color applications. Please note that strokes should be avoided to define the logo as it might give a bulky look to the logo itself.</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><br></b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Color Palette</b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- The flame should use vibrant and realistic flame tones (red, orange, and yellow).</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- The rest of the design (word and wings) must complement the flame colors seamlessly.&nbsp;</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- Avoid gradients and overly detailed shading to ensure compatibility with printing on apparel as well as keeping it modern not to give a vintage or retro feel to it.</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><br></b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"><b data-stringify-type="bold" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Adaptability</b></div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- The logo should look striking on both black and white surfaces without requiring color modifications.</div><div class="p-rich_text_section" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-family: Slack-Lato, Slack-Fractions, appleLogo, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">- It must be suitable for printing on various surfaces, including fabric, metal, and paper.
