Logo design for a company that offers scientific consulting

Betahat Optimal

This is a logo for a professional services company run by a PhD in engineering and mathematics. The company has been the roof of mostly freelancing activity, but i am currently turning it into a shell for larger scale contract work.

Betahat is a mathematical symbol. It consists of the greek letter beta with a "hat": ^ on the top. You can see it in my webpage
http://www.betahatoptimal.com
where I have a rather amateurish logo of the mathematical symbol in a blue circle.

In the new logo, I would like to have an artistic rendering of the betahat thingy (beta with ^ on top) as well as the name of the company Betahat Optimal included.

I am planning to use on the website (replace the logo that is there now), as well on business cards and other stationary.

Also, I would like to obtain the Favicon.ico version of it for use on my website. The Favicon should not include the company name, just the drawing part of it. We can talk more about this... it would be real nice if it could be included in the design.

I would basically like to give a nice image for myself as I am going about building my business. It will be handed out to potential clients, investors and partners. It would be nice to be professional yet not too boring.

I think t is covered in previous sections.
