Congdon Law, PLLCLogo Design Contest

I like this, it is bold and uses the key that I like, but it is very similar to several other designs I have received.

The scales of justice are too cliche for my taste. I have rejected all of the designs that put scales in them.

The column is very generic and not specific to my practice area.

I am not a fan of the gavels. They seem more relevant to judges than to a lawyer.

I do not like the shield motif.

This one is too similar to the logo I am no longer using. I want something new and different from the previous logo.

Any feedback for my entries? please let me know cause it's really helpful for me.
