EdumentLogo Design Contest

If you have a great logo idea that require us to change for example the background image and colors of the web page - we could do that. The web site is in the final stages of developement, but we are somewhat flexible :)

#1 Overall feeling is good, but not perfect yet ;). I'm not quite sure of the symbol - the icon/logo looks gives me associations to a snake eating a power-outet (sorry).

If using letters, like the "E", perhaps would it be possible to do something using the "M" as they have similar shapes? I prefer a nice abstract symbol before clearly readable letters, so be creative. And it is absolutely okay to skip the letters in the symbol all together.

I like the roundness / sweeping lines of the intense green "snake" much more than the "striped E". Not particularly fond of mixing the two styles as in this example. I like the clean stile of the text logo, but perhaps it needs a bit more contrast to it so that it "stand out" a bit more. Nice that you re-used the green background color as suggested on the web page - makes it easier to see how it actually would look in context, on the page! Keep up the good work!

overall comments: The green color of #1 logo, the gradients and shades are great, but too much detail in the logo. Nice modern feeling of the text logo - but too little contrast. #8 really love the 3D feeling, but got assosiations with jewelry (gold+emerald jewel). Overall, a bit to sharp, and the text logo doesn't quite have the modern feeling I'm looking for - but very skilled design work! #3 feel a bit to much as a school, and a bit strict. Good readability of text logo - but it would be easer to see how it looks on green background. Using a bright color for the logo is probably better, on a darker background. #2 gave me assosiations with car brands. #6 First got the assosiation with sports, but now I think about space... :) #7 definetly feels like sport, tennis or golf. Not so fond of the gray gradient in the icon. #4 and #5 Sorry, but not at all what I'm looking for.

Perhaps it would be possible to explore working with the text logo (the symbol isn't a must-have thing) and think more of skilled programming and system developement. I understand that is kind of hard to combine with "mentorship", but perhaps one person aiding another while coding? Standing behind or something.

Keep up the good work!

#1 How would an @-sign using an "e" look using the look and feel of the green circle? The e could be white and then in the circle turn to green, perhaps. Or if the "e" would be thicker with a 3D-feling and the circle more 2.5D like now.
I like the strong graphical expression of #10 but I am not so fond of text logo placement and the plain 2D feeling.

So far, I like the textfont of #1 the best, the contrast of the text in #8, the color in #1, and the not to complex sign/symbol of #17 and #15, but the 3D-feeling of #1, #8, #12 and #18. #1 and #8 got the best graphical feeling and finish so far, but not the best logotype.

I think that the suggestions from Kuur is nice, #45 and #43 got a nice feeling to the text logo. The symbol is nice and clean with a god modern feeling to it. I would give it 7 starts out of 10 - so there is still room for other suggestions.
After seeing #51 I am definetly open for logos based on the text logo only, without the "symbol". I like it when something creative is done with the text.

and for #69, perhaps you could do one version showing just one very large icon - the preview that I see is so small that it is dufficult to see allt the details.
It would also be okay if just you placed icon / text over/under eachother so they can be made larger.

Thanks everyone! I havn't decided on a winner yet, but will do so within a couple of days!
