I like the darker blues/grays as well as red/grays as in #16 and #7 with color tone variations as in #7, #10 and #13.
I like the idea of being able to separate the mark from the name as a stand-alone brand.
I like the idea for #9 and #5 with the armor/reinforced look for the mark but not all one color. #9 is austere but I like the concept.
The name should be either all caps or the V and T capitalized.

In #52 and #46, the mark shows 3 key parts and in the case of #52, the parts appear to me to show an essense of collaboration or three pieces fitting together. I seem to be settling on a tag line of 'Business - Technology - Trust' and the 3 pieces thing seems to fit with that.

Not sure how other people do it, but the logos that strike me right away are ending up close to the top, however there are quite a few that grow on me over time. Just because it's low now doesn't mean that I won't go back to it. Appreciating the hard work and seeing some great ideas.

I'd like to see a few more abstract marks along the lines #144 #146 and #100. Something that is made of different shapes than recognizable ones like triangles, etc.
