Other notes

The logo needs to create an immediate association / psychological anchor with Tidetraders (as would the peacock design to CNBC). The name TideTraders needs to be part of the Logo, but a picture part should also be able to stands on its own.
The idea of "Tide, or Wave" needs to be passed on in the logo. Blue should be the dominant color as it is the color of the ocean.
Trading is a very serious matter so the logo cannot be frivolous.
