Logo design for a new political blog

Operative Wisdom

This is a logo for a blog based around describing the mechanics of how politics and campaigns work at a more local level. It's aimed at candidates for smaller offices, or organizations who might need a better understanding of the political process.

This doesn't focus on federal races, so I would probably avoid overt American flag / Red white blue imagery that sometimes pops up in other politics branding sometimes.

Also note that the word "Operative" can refer to a political operative, but also the word "operative" (meaning functional). If that matters at all.
