Hello CH ,
As a brand identity and brand communication designer
Entry #83 is designed keeping in mind the following things the eco friendly nature,clean and modern.
Things to remember for a better design
1 - Max two colors to avoid printing problems
2 - The logo works well on both stationary and corporate Identity .
3 - Very less gradients are used to avoid printing problems
4 - Looks good in black and white ( The important thing to remember )
IMO go for no or less gradient logos they scale well, fit well , looks well .
