My submission for your review, though you have indicated word mark only, I feel that the company name and coupled with the tagline is too long to accomplish and effective word mark. By creating an abstract icon based on the "COCC" we achieve and effect logo
Scott, Can you rotate the abstract so that "CO" is on top? And can you dress up the company name in a way similar to Bening's design? Or do you think it would wind up being too busy?
Scott, I love 35 and 54. Your designs are a cut above in my opinion. I dig the 3D and negative space style that you have created. Can you darken the tag line so it is a bit easier to read?
as you can see in this version due to lowercase typeface changes teh layout...the lowercase being shorter needs to increase in size however this would make the second line larger in font size than the main line...to keep the typeface a wee bit smaller I need to increase kerning...which I prefer not to do with lower case letters..it just look odd
