Erickson labLogo Design Contest

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked 1st - 10th. We like to earn points.
~~ After your contest closes it will enter Judging phase. You can re-rank designs in Judging.
~~ While in Judging, the designer ranked in first place can submit revisions

These versions are good (in particular 4, 2, 5, 6). But I would like it better if the symbol could have something that looks like it combines fluids (like water), lasers (light) and biology (like DNA).

A version that has colors similar to our website http://nano.mae.cornell.edu would also be interesting.

A version with the words below would also be interesting and without the "Integrated Microfluiduc... slogan", but probably I like the words besides as most have done.

These are also very good. I like the writting in version 8, 9 and 10. It would be good to see some versions of the design without the "Integrated microfluidic..." slogan attached to them.

I think I like the words on the right side better.

The symbol on number 8 is good but it should involve some sort of light (like a laser) and the "molecule" on the inside should be more "biological" (like a DNA or a protein, preferably a protein). The color scheme of blue and green is also nice.

Hello David, thanks for the feedback & info
Just a reminder for future reference: if you click on a design, you can leave comments for that specific designer on their page. Then we get notified that you have commented and can respond quicker

Thank you

To Everyone:

One more thing that would be good to incorporate into the logo would perhaps be some kind of "microfluidic" channel or device and waveguides fiber optics.

Microfluidics are essentially tiny channels that can carry fluids (like wires except carring water instead of electrons). Examples of microfluidic devices are shown below...

Waveguides are essentially optical fibers on a chip. Examples of optical fibers can be found by typing in "Optical Fibers" into google images.
