Compelling logo needed for web dev company

Nexops

Nexops provides premium web design and development services to support our clients’ marketing and operational needs. We are headquartered in New York City and have developed web applications and sites for a diverse portfolio of clients, from large companies to early-stage startups. We continually strive to stay on the cutting edge and incorporate the latest technologies into our work.

Our brand needs to appeal to a wide spectrum of potential clients and partners. We work with large corporate clients but we also partner with entrepreneurs and early-stage startups on joint ventures. We need a logo that is effective with both types.

We want our logo to be clean, striking, and "techie".

1. We do like a two-toned logo (as it is now) with something special about the "x" - feel free to be creative
2. We want to keep the N capitalized
3. No icons in our logo - just the name, although we are interested in something that can be used as a favicon
4. Typeface should be sans serif type that is clean and not crazy. We do not want a console type font when we say "techie" - we just want to convey that we are a technology company.

We are open to different color combinations but generally prefer to stay away from yellows, oranges, and greens. Again, we want something that says "cutting-edge" without alienating the corporate feel.

Our current site, which we are redesigning, is at http://www.nexops.com.

We have attached an old iteration of the logo as well to give you an idea.
