Covert SecurityLogo Design Contest

Can't wait to see some ideas. Email me direct if you want to talk about something before spending time drawing. I'm going to be paying close attention. dan@covertsecuritysystems.net
Thanks artists!
additional note - color fading is a plus - like in these for example https://logotournament.com/contests/eric_harr_social_media/by/bluejet
the way the edges are soft and the colors fade is a good idea of the direction to go.

Wow! Thank you for your designs so fast. We are definitely on the right track here.
#14 barubelajar- love the negative space C. Let's try one w/o the LLC. Thinking about a slightly thicker fatter font with a little lighter green and a slightly deeper purple on the C. This one is great!
#9 brendan - love the blue color on the font. Like the idea of the O being something. Not sure if that's a camera lens or a button. Either idea would probably work. Can we try putting some color into the O object? I was thinking if the O object was a light leafy green and the whole thing had a black background it might look pretty tough. (Can you guys change background colors?) That font color is exactly the tiffany's blue I was talking about in the brief. :)
#6 n joy - Looks more on the corporate side. I like it, it looks very professional. I also like how the font boldness changes. Stick with that for sure. Let's try putting some of the colors I had mentioned in the brief into that text. And the thing I mentioned about the S in the email as well please. Thanks!

Everyone please look to the top 4 ranked for the direction I would like to go in. Those are looking more and more like what I had imagined. Please look at the text in Brendan's #9 for the color I'd like to see in the winner's logo. And I'm thinking that I'll probably not be including the LLC in the logo, so we might as well forget about that.
Thanks again artists!

any questions email me at dan@covertsecurityllc.com (I don't use the .net anymore)

No more LLC's please. :)

Everyone please look to #48 #66 #33 #68 for the shape and overall style to shoot for.
Thanks for all these entries, they're great!
Something else to keep in mind please is that we're in the high tech electronics and video surveilance field. The logo should try to demonstrate that with or without the text being present. Electrical circuits have that effect - for one example.

Some notes for everyone:
Thanks first of all, these are all really cool.
Just a few guidelines as we move forward...
I seem to be favoring designs where the picture is to the left of the text and the picture has colors. The text should be easily readable but not so bold as to be "loud". I also am tending to favor the "Covert" text having the C being larger than the rest, as it is in #48. The "security" can be all the same size. Remember we do covert cameras, so we are more on the discreet side. The text that has been looking best to me so far has been a black covert and a grey security. Look to #33 for an example of proportions.
Most importantly, the picture by itself needs to say electronics and technology without the aid of the text. #79 is a perfect example of this. The winner will accomplish that feeling AND hopefully somehow incorporate the CS initials and colors into the picture as well.
Thanks artists!

Another note for everyone:
I'm trying to raise the prize to 400. I haven't figured out how yet. :( I have emailed tech support. If anyone knows how plz LMK asap.

ok, everyone please pay attention to #97 #98 #99. These have what I'm looking for. A soft looking object with electrical circuits that form the initials C and S, and colors within while the text is black and grey. A heavy presence of that light blue color in the picture. These aspects are what the winning design will most likely have.
Thanks for everyone's entries! There are so many! :)

So many great ideas. This is difficult.
Thanks to all. :)

Anyone with a design in the top 10 who does not get 1st place but would sell me the source files after this contest please send me an email to dan@covertsecurityllc.com
I might still have interest. Maybe we can work something out. :)
Thanks again to all artists!
