We still like #1 but the star isn't our favorite. Also wondering if this could be made a bit more interesting with an additional color than just two shades of blue. It would still need to show two shades if printed black and white. For example a darker blue paired with a lighter gold.
As we mentioned, we like the "Peak" metaphor in #5. It's overpowering as an icon though. Is it possible to reduce it a bit and integrate it somehow with the name of the company.
Really liked the company name treatment with Entry # 8. No one has tried to connect the two "y" letters in Apply and Synergies. Don't know if the icon for 8 could be reworked to make that connection. Just a thought.
