I like both #132 and #123. Even tough I specified in the brief that desk does not mean table but newsdesk. I think the four chairs and the table could communicate disctussion.
However. The advantage of the bubble is that it is wider and could cointain more than just discussions.
In the #123 i tink mabye the size diffence between the ball and the typography is a problem. could you look into that? Thats much better in #132
Thank you for feedback, I create a speech buble like a globe so that will give global feel and work well for favicon on your site also easy to read in Black and white as well
We are really closing in here. I would love to see a version of #145 with even simpler (fewer) bubbles in the ball. The font is really great, keep that. Skip the bubble in the dot (before no).
We also think that #132 could work if it was oversimplified without looking like a furniture site.
