Hi Marie. Thanks for sending through the first designs. I prefer #2 over #1 at this stage for a couple of reasons. I like fewer colours, and even think that #2 would be better if the yellow was replaced with grey (I don't mind a dark grey and a light grey, together with the blue).
I also prefer the layout of #2, where there is an image to the left of the text. I'm not sure I like either of the images really, but I think this is going to be the hardest thing for me to find something I like.
I like the three lines of text more than just two lines, as it means some of it can be larger and easier to read. I wonder if more lines might be even better, just so the smallest lines could be a slightly larger font size. Alternatively, do you think it might be an option to have three elements to the design all shown horizontally - 1. the image, 2. the company name and 3. the tag line, rather than just the image beside all the text?
Also can you leave out the "Pty Ltd" and the slogan. Just having the words ActivePro Consulting I think are enough for this logo or it becomes too hard to read.
