We like design #79. We would like to see the design changed somewhat. We would like cable to be an ethernet RJ-45 or an SC fiber connector with red, yellow, or orange cable. And the color should be a bit darker to match our site better.
We liked the plain design better than the gears. We would also like to see the Acro and the NOC as different colors. A different/darker blue in the lettering would go better with our website.
There have been some suggestions that the orb looks too much like a Christmas ornament. Would it be possible for you to make it look like some type of stone (e.g. marble)?
We REALLY like Entry #133, however before we decide we would like to see you play with the positioning of the Ethernet jack. It seems like it's not on the same perspective plane as the sphere. Like it was installed crooked or something. Spheres are tricky and maybe it's just eyes playing tricks. Maybe it would be better visually if the jack's entry was moved back so that the jack is over more of the white background.
NIce, the new cable looks alot better in that position :)
One more tweak that we think might look great and make it more personable for us, could you somehow maybe rotate the globe to where the plug is plugging into the Texas area of North America? Or even move the plug if you have to position the land mass differently, just so long as the cable is still aligned with the long/lat lines I think it would work in most postions and look good.
Could we have the plain blue globe with the red ethernet jack back in the contest. Some of us still like that design and would like to include it in the voting. The current font on #137 is good.
