#53 - This is looking very nice. I like the interlocking "C's". They look perhaps a bit stuffy... Anything you can do to "loosen up" the feel? I don't like the font—could I see other options?
#51 - Now, I think these two design elements are closer to the the feel I'm looking for: still elegant, but not as stuffy as #53. However, with 53 I can clearly see how the logo design ties back to the company name and the theme of "contrary". The logo elements in this entry are a bit too abstract.
