I really like the color scheme and Wordmark portion of entry #s 9, 8, and 6, but I'm not completely sold on the design of the artwork to the left. Of the 3, I like entry #9 the best so far because it somewhat conjures the idea of an atom being scanned, which is exactly what our technology does. The only thing I might want to see different is perhaps an attempt to incorporate somehow the design elements of an intermodal shipping container being scanned -- without making it a plain-jane shipping container. In other words, it can still be abstract while making the viewer conceptualize the interior of the design being a cargo container being scanned. As a point of reference, consider the embedded video of our mobile cargo scanner at www.container-scan.com, which is on the left-hand side of the page under the phrase "IGRIS Scanning Solutions". Also, it might be good to incorporate one or two designs using the phrase "Using IGRIS Non-Invasive Cargo Scanning Technology" or something similar. Great work so far!!!
I like Entry No. 14 for two reasons: (1) the picture somewhat conveys the idea behind the technology (perhaps a cargo container being scanned by two opposing "screens"; or maybe being encircled by electrons, etc.); (2) the checkmark in the A is a TERRIFIC idea! That really brings in the other focus of the technology, which is that it cannot only detect dangerous or contraband substances, but can also check shipping manifests for accuracy, increasing a country's import/export duties, etc. The only thing I guess I don't like is the tagline below the logo.... We don't really have one, and I just came up with that on the fly. In retrospect, I don't love it. Also, it might be nice if it were a bit smaller, or if there were another option with the logo to the side of the wordmark but scaled down some. By the way, I LOVE your work! Great stuff!
I really like entries 78 and 81... But don't be afraid to experiment with the color scheme some more. I didn't mean to lock myself into blue and orange; it just so happened that the first couple of entries I liked were in that color scheme. I think it might help to see some contrast between the other entries. (Greens/Yellows/Grays/Blues). It might even be cool to see the checkmark element (which I REALLY love, by the way) in Red to make it stand out from the rest of the logo. It might not work at all, but with the right colors, it could.
Thanks for making this so difficult! This is a really hard decision.
