Create an owl-inspired mark for an educational video game franchise

Education

Immersed Games is an early stage ed tech startup with an audacious vision of how games can be used to empower student learning. We are creating a video game as a platform for deep, empowering learning experiences. http://immersedgames.com/ The logo here is actually for our main title, Tyto Online. This is a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) where students complete quests and engage in sandbox-like learning applications. Students play as Tyto Academy students who have been recruited to a new planet, Ovo, where they begin new lives helping the scientists after Earth has been devastated. Our target audience are middle and high school students. Be sure to realize that this group does not want to come across as kids, but rather young adults! **Read the description below under "Other" before working on your design, as it contains essential information.**

I'd like to explore the following colors: Our main brand has used hex #40bdde for our primary color, but this mark in just black for an iconic mark is probably ideal right now, and then we can use it in several ways later from that solid mark.
