Of the 3, #8 is the best one. #2 seems a little too whimsical and #11 is hard to decipher (is that an eagle?). The all caps logos looks the best, IMO. Can you provide some commentary on #8 as to what the image is supposed to mean? I wonder if the icon of #8 can be incorporated into the "A" of the company name? (this is really just me thinking out loud).
Thanks for the feedback, I try to submit very different things to get a feel for the direction. #11 is an eagle direction. This can be executed in many ways, just an idea for mobility. Sounds like it is preferable to have the icon be more integrated with the type. I will send more designs.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying that integrating the icon with the name is necessarily preferable; mainly I'd like to see different options. I do like the concept of a logo to the left of the name, I just want to make sure it's not too generic. That's why I thought that the logo in #8 could be part of the name; it doesn't have to be, but maybe you could come up with a few more icons (specific to our company) that we could use for comparison.
