It is a nice thought to use the tag line but in these cases I believe it is to wordy.
#1,2,3 - So far, the logos with the letters are not to my liking, but I do like the cleaner more crisp font you used in these entries. I would prefer a logo design other than letters. I am not interested in the stars and stripes concepts. I would like to see a subtle color added to the mix. #8 - I am not sure about using the letter D as the logo. It may work, but I don't like the style of this D
Thanks so much for your additional entries! Our panel has reviewed the original entries and here's our thoughts: We would like to see a slightly brighter color mixed into your design to liven it up a bit. Please eliminate the tag line from future logos. Most thought the tag line made it crowded
#1 #3 - Most felt these were square and boring. No one like the stars and stripes.
we will look more closely at #30, #40, #42. these are more modern and more desirable, but more color is needed. No tag line.
#8 the cursive D was not well received. People preferred a solid, secure, but more modern look.
