The principal background color of our letterhead, business and greeting cards, and website is planned to be a very light brown - tending toward beige - perhaps with a barely discernible flecking. As noted in the "additional suggestions or ideas " box below some form of gold is required in the presentation of the "Gold Standard" portion of our company name. Additionally we envisage the use of something close to a reddish-brownish wine color for the words "Solutions Group".

not sure

I've imagined the words "Gold Standard " impressed, in a strong font, shadow style, into a gold ingot . . . but am interested in what other creative minds might produce. Originally intending to use goldleaf, we've realized that such an option would be very expensive and that it's not a common practice, or easily achieved these days. Consequently, being deprived of the richness of goldleaf, we need a design that will nonetheless convey something of its striking sophistication while at the same time appealing to the conservative tendencies that are typical of our client base.
