I like these approaches! #46 has the most dynamic mark - #45 seems too 'feathery'. The typography is excellent on 46/47 - perhaps try to make the mark on 47 a bit more simple. If this is a mark on the spine of a book, it'll need to shrink down with better clarity. Keep it up - please don't give up on this. Thanks!
#103 looks great, maxsense. So great that is has received top billing. Nicely done. If you can, see if you can adjust the mark slightly to incorporate something having to do with publishing. I'm not sure what that might be - maybe something like book pages, but nothing too obvious. I like the swirling, moving mark, and the shape is strong. The color is great - it's classic & organic, and the typography is modern yet has a lift to the letters. I'm very happy with the latest iteration. A couple of small touches to the mark could make it more complete. The mark currently is evocative of thinking, motion, dynamic action, but it would be great to have some subtle, distinctive hook that ties it to publishing. Thanks!
