Very interesting concepts. #14 & 15, I like the opposing positions of Bull and Bear, since it symbolizes their concepts. I would suggest more contrasting in colors to make it easier to identify shapes. I am selling old stock certificates, and would like to have a classic feel to logo; is there an easy to read classic font that could give it a feel as if from early 1900s?
#16 Very creative & interesting, I never thought of this concept. I need a little time to think about this one! Thank you for your work.
Glad you like the direction that I'm heading in, I'd be happy to make some of the revisions you suggested. I personally like #16 the best, I think it has a nice feel to it and has an unusual layout for a logo, I think it stands out from the rest because of this difference, but at the end of the day that's just personal preference.
#16/17 - You are right, these are artistic and have an unusual layout for a logo, they stand out. The people who are my target market (investors and stock brokers) are analytical left brain thinkers and are not artistic, so they may not "get it." Also I don't think this modern look is what I am after, since I want a more classic look for selling of old stocks.
Thank you for submitting, I thought about the design for a couple of hours before deciding.
