Collier Financial

Brief from client 

Collier Financial will perform daily money management services for clients - Personal CFO.

Looking to represent money of course, but also trust and handling finances of others. I want to add another color besides black. First instinct is green, looking for advice on that as well. Thanks all.

I think you're on the right track to a nice idea, however I'm not sold on this solution.

First, the dollar sign within the "O" feels unnecessary. It reduces simplicity and (to a very small extent) readability. Plus, it's rarely a good idea to combine symbols and letters, despite the popular trend to do so.

This goes hand in hand with the symbol beneath it (pun totally intended): in a similar fashion, it doesn't feel like it belongs there other than to illustrate the handling of finances with the literal depiction of holding money. Maybe if the combination of the O/$ combo was less subtle, it could maybe work. But again, this only makes everything more claustrophobic. Case in point: the hand is overlapping the box with "financial."

Overall, I could see the overall typography working. Heck, it reminds me of "Geico" a bit, and that can be associated with finance in a sense. I'm sure there are others that have that sort of font treatment. This is not necessarily a good or bad thing, but be aware that this makes your job of setting it apart from the crowd that much more important, which I believe you can certainly do. Plus, the dollar sign is a bit too obvious of a solution with money. Therein lies the challenge of logo design with commonly used imagery.

I think the idea is there, I would just spend time addressing the closeness of everything, and rethinking the dollar sign thing. Good luck.

Along with the above^^^
the crudely drawn hand looks like its been stuck onto that bar. Especially with the tiny little stroke. It doesn't mesh well.
