#2 - We'd like to stay away from gun images directly. They seem to be overdone and may be offensive to some people. We would consider abstract gun references: e.g(subtle sights, subtle targets/bullseyes, etc) P.S. I really like ToeJoeh.com's logo! Also, the rounded fonts do no seem to mesh with the sharp angles of the logo.
#1 - We like this designed and it is very much like our initial thoughts. We would consider abstract gun references: For example, adding just the "beavertail" from the gun on logo #2 to each of the "F"s on #1 between the equal sign as on logo #2. Also, we might consider a more stylized "F" that has more depth or imagery a less of a block font. But we still love this concept!
Also, I would drop the ".net" from the name so that the "Equal Force" text could be centered. P.S. I really like ToeJoeh.com's logo!
