I have just uploaded three new variations using more dark blue and green. Please let me know your thoughts. I would be happy to continue working with you on this.
Variations #60 and #61 have gradients in the spheres. Variation #62 is just flat color. And #63, #63, and #65 have new text treatment.
Thank you for trying very hard for our contest. Our collegues really love your style. Your style looks very attractive.
They love the font style but they just don't like the globe designs#60-65 yet. They looked too circle. You may try taking the dots around the globe off. We would like to emphasis on our name "2010 Global Sources" more than the globe. It seems that everybody will pay attention mainly on the globe not the company name.
We're looking forward to see from you soon. Thank you. Watchara
Thank you for the feedback Watchara. If I understand correctly, you are asking me to remove the dots from the globe. If this is the case, I would be happy to do this. I will upload some variations shortly. If you can think of anything else that I can improve for you, please let me know.
For my new entries, I have eliminated the globe all together. I understand the need of your organization to showcase the name. I thought that I would showcase the name and reference your global scope by treating both "0" in 2010 as hemispheres. I also retained the font treatment that you like. The result is that the viewer will first have to take in your organization's name, then they will recognize the "globe" elements.
