The Cooperation CompanyLogo Design Contest

Thanks to everyone for your creative ideas so far. I appreciate the symbolism of cooperation in the graphics submitted so far. Something more 'corporate' would be nice to see given that I am looking to have this brand resonate with private-sector, connservative businesses as well as government agencies. Remember that my current client base is reluctant to buy my services under the usual name (mediation) but they usually respond to stolid, well-established, and expensive corporate images such as a law firm--but not all the way in that direction. These customers are no-nonsense-kinds of people; just not big risk takers when buying my kind of service. Imagine you are the busy director of a government agency who feels caught between arguing interest groups. What brand image will work to convince you that my conflict resolution services will make you feel secure buying from me? Cheers! mike.

Thanks again everyone for your great ideas. As we move into the last five days of this contest let me list the things I see in all the draft logos that I like,

* Image of some sort that expresses cooperation among diverse people (numbers 7 and 9).
* Fonts like those in entries number 7 and 5.
* The word "The" appearing subordinate to the main words, but still in the logo.

Other thoughts I've had that try to communicate the values in my head that might be translated into the graphics of a logo are,

+ Results oriented.
+ Less 'cute' and more reserved (moving to abstract if necessary to avoid cute).
+ You are in safe hands when you hire my company.

Cheers! mike.
