Building IdeasLogo Design Contest

This is the first abstract I've liked alot.
The swirls replaced by a nautilus / golden spiral still sketched in the way you have the circles would be pretty slick. keeping the grid background.

#91 Thank you for the feedback. It is always great to get any feedback and to have the contest holder involved in the contest. Stu.

#91 is looking nice. If the first 1/2 or so of the nautilus was scetched in and the last half the actual shell it would look like it was being planned and built. Adding ' ARCHITECTURE ' over the company name would help as well if the font was light similar to the grid width or in the ' ideas ' width but grey.

#114 This is fun. Stu.

Thats exactly what I was talking about. nice. if the sketch went a little farther into the shell that would be great but I really like this.

#118 extended sketching and other modifications. I think I am going to do one with lighter sketching. Stu.

#121 Lightened up some...should prob. take away some strokes.

Yeah this looks great. The grid a little lighter shade of greay and I think you've got it cleaned up.

I thought I would darken "ARCHITECTURE" a tad.

I agree. the Architecture could be more pronounced. Maybe if it was thicker but a gray scale to face into the background a bit.

#165 I thought you might like this. Stu.

You are just knocking them out of the park consistently. I like the new logo alot

The new one is great. 185 is great by itself. Louis Kahn has an entire speach about if you asked a brick what it wants to be it would say an arch. I think that logo summed it up nicely.

#s 167,165 - While creating designs for your contest, I have wondered about how you intend to use the logo on your website because the major background there is dark. You may be thinking about stationary etc. I could create adaptations to upload (on dark background) if you intend to keep the top portion of the front page dark. Yes, I am glad you liked the beacon of light for "ideas." Somewhat busy. The simplicity of #165 may be better as a logo. We could accentuate the arc more - as an architectural theme, as well as a connection for the two words. Will add slogan anytime. Stu.

#167 Just thought I'd upload another version for fun. Thanks for everything. Stu.

Thanks for the upgrade. You had 3 in my top 10.
Unfortunately I'm leaning towards the ones marked as 1 & 2 currently.

Thanks for all your efforts. I'll be recomending this to my friends that have recently started business's.

#204 ...I'm not going down without a fight...one more a little more mainstream....

ty, lol, You have really nice work I love 137, 167, 172
The question I've been talking over with my peers is this.
Although we all know how fundamental the golden circle is I don't know if anyone else will pick that up.
165 Hits a chord w/ me because I love Louis Kahn and his speach on bricks is amazing.
172 is nice and simple and gets the point across
204 is really nice because it is verry similar to what I have on my title block already.

If you want to make this decision impossible for me...
Trhy 172 with something like the bricks or the city scape you have in perspective on the grid and let the grid fade a little.
