Keywords to consider:

Design

Light

Craft/Craftsmanship

Architecture

Art

Techne -(Greek) Craft/art/skill and the making or doing (especially; the principles or methods employed in making something or attaining an objective comparable understanding)

Phos - (Greek) Light

The design should have the following

The first things that come to mind are the "seeing eye", the Egyptian god of sun (RA), Greek styling and potentially a light source of some kind and/or something like a compass or measuring device to show the architecture we handle? There's a lot going on and I like the thoughts but I am more interested in a minimalist type of design as this is a luxury segment of the market and the cleaner and easier to remember the better.

***UPDATE***

After seeing a handful of designs come back I wanted to make a few new notes. The main goal here is to gather a logo, so less about the "name" in totality and more about trying to come up with an image or set of images/lettering that will be memorable and tie into the company/name. The focus is on something to go with the Techne Phos name that could live with or without it on a card, site or marketing piece.

See photo uploaded, it's a simple Ionic column from Grecian times, maybe something where we can tie those Greek "T/PH" into a column kind of look?

Take a look at the Greek "T" and the Greek "P" (PH) and see about tying these letters into the design. Again, I'm trying to stay away from Egypt but love the Grecian themes in both lettering and styling.

This logo will be used for

Online (Website, facebook etc.)
Print (business cards, letterheads, brochures etc.)

This design should not have this in the entries

Open to most things, think luxury and first class and we'll be fine!

What style of logo would you like?

Colors to use in the design

Blue and white (think Greece)

Greens

Colorful if it fits your design

Minimalist in the greige category if it's a busier design

Love a Patagonia or Cotopaxi or generally artistic and mix/match kind of look (if you think it fits)

Really, open to most things here and excited to see what you can come up with. Truly thankful for your inspiration and artistic expertise!
