I like the way you are weaving the concepts together in #20. If you have time, could you try a version of two with some or all of the following changes:
1. Make the bottom maze/signal element thing brown instead of gray. 2. Make the little internet/mosaic blocks coming from the leaf blue instead of green. 3. Try it with colored text (brown or green? gradients? web 2.0 highlight?) 4. The logo is pretty tall...maybe try it without the top leaf to make it shorter?
Thanks again for the great feedback. Here is one new iteration - I've changed the colours , icon is slightly smaller, pixels are blue, and it has a slight glossy feel.
Thanks for the revisions on the previous entries. I do like the shorter version of the plant.
Regarding #86: WOW! Very nice. Can you work in a little bit of blue and/or green? And can you work in a little bit of the "internet" concept, perhaps with the little blue boxes or something else.
Finally, how would it look (now working the metaphor the other direction) if his ear was more leaf like?
Thanks for the great feedback. Here is one new iteration. I've added the blue internet pixels and some green ... And in the negative space in the ear, created a leaf shape - this way its subtle but clearly there ;-)
#97 is great. Love the subtle leaf motif. One little detail: can you make the gloss effect on the text curve the opposite direction (so it looks like a horizon).
