Association Member Logo update

International trade association with a membership base in need of an updated logo concept for members. The logo itself will stay the same. Colors and shape must stay the same.

With different levels of membership we need to have a design created that can be customized for the different uses.

- ATRA Certified
- ATRA Member
- ATRA Nationwide Warranty ProviderCurrently we put the words in the bottom portion of the logo (as you will see in the example), but that doesn't explain to a consumer what it means.  For example, a Rebuilder Member offers a warranty.  But, that logo says ATRA Member and doesn't clearly state the warranty information.

We aren't sure the direction this logo needs to go other than it needs to have meaning when it is seen by a consumer.

Here is a link for the different samples of our logos that we currently use.

We will need the art in a vector format for each of the styles upon completion of the project. 

Please have fun with it and I will post feedback regularly on likes and dislikes to help guide towards something we can use.

The winner will be considered for future work as a designer with our organization so get creative and show us your stuff!
