Logo / branding and business card

Information for the business: Business Investor / Entrepreneur
Industry: Business
Type of logo: Word mark, Letter form, Abstract mark, Emblem
Brand name/slogan in logo: SP
Ideas for the visual style: Understated but Impactful
Preferred colors: Silvers, blacks, greys + one other colour?
Where the design will be used: Initially business cards
Extra notes: We require a logo and a business card (branding) that is stylish, impactful and memorable although quite understated. My client is an entrepreneur that identifies business opportunities / invests in businesses or purchases businesses and then turns them round to be successful ventures. He covers a wide range of business sector so this needs to be non specific.

Clients name is Sanjay Patel - perhaps use a graphic that has SP entwined (or just an s)? Middle name is K (SKP) if that helps in any way. Or Sanjay Patel with some swish or underline. He said he liked the idea of black with silver foil / emboss....just so you know where his thoughts are but please don;t let this restrict you.

This has to be unique and creative and if there is a design or image (tasteful and more masculine than feminine!) on the reverse of the card then that is acceptable too. It must make a lasting impression.

I am looking for a designer that will not let me down and that will design something bespoke rather than use graphics or styles that have been cribbed from elsewhere!

I have attached some routes as inspiration but these are only an example not the solution. I can't find anything that really solves the problem!. Number 2 along in particular almost looks like an S and P entwined. Ignore colours on these.

Please confirm the cost for this job (based on continuing until we find something that works) and how long turn round will be. thank you.
