Extended NetworkLogo Design Contest

Thanks for getting things started, GraySource and heru. These are some good ideas, I'm undecided on the linked circles in #3 but they're starting to grow on me, and I'm thinking that the people in #1 and #2 seem too distant from each other although I like the general idea of the design. IN #4 I like the linking of the circles, I'd like a design in which the logo can easily be separated to be used as an icon as well, and 'm not sure that the 4 linked circles would look great as an icon.
Keep'em coming!

THanks

Thanks for all the new submissions, I think I definitely prefer the options that include "people", as seen in #1, #2, #3, #17, #18, #20. I also like the use of multiple "secondary" people, I'd be happy to see an update on #2 that includes more blue people perhaps? #15 and #16 are good ideas but the colors aren't a good fit for what we're doing.

Thanks!

Hello,
could we please get some individual feedback (by clicking on each designers entries) so we know how to further develop our logos for you?

thanks!

Sure, I'm leaving many people individual comments right now. One note for everybody is that I'm not concerned with getting multiple layouts of the same design (eg #1, #2 and #32, #33) as I'm comfortable handling that if I need to with whatever final design we choose.
Thanks for all the rgeat designs yesterday and today! I hope they keep coming.

#29 I think this is too dense graphically, I like the concept but there needs to be more whitespace or contrast between the people so that it's not a jumble of green and blue when displayed small.

I do like the idea in #20, this is close to how I originally imagined the logo. I don't like the orange though, could play around with the highlighted person being in the foreground instead of the background, he seems a little surrounded :)

For everybody, I think I prefer non-italic for the name, my current favorites for text-only are #32, #45. I think #3 and #44 would look just as good or better with no italics, but I'm not against having one word in italics, definitely not both though. Feel free to submit some more versions with text changes.
The blue text in #21 seems a bit fuzzy, I'm not sure why.

#39, #40, this is a good new idea, I definitely prefer #39 with the whitespace, #40 is too "full" and loses a lot of detail when displayed smaller. I'm preferring strong, simple designs that will look good at any size and have good contrast to be adapted for icons etc.

Similar notes for #17, I like the concept but the skinny people and multiple rows of them fading back is making it a bit too dense and low-contrast, I'd love to see some versions of that with the people thicker and the contrast changed
Thanks!

I've been delinquent on doing quality feedback, so I just extended the contest by 2 days (that was the minimum, I was going to do 1 day). I'm blown away by the quality and originality of the designs I've seen and hope they keep coming, I'll be on here at least once a day giving as much feedback as I can.
Thanks everybody!

Tudor, thanks for the fantastic options. #70 and #73 I think get too wide, but I'm impressed that you've done something new instead of retweaking them all. Thanks for the font changes, but don't worry about the tag line.
Personally I think I prefer with two heads instead of one, but I'm kind of on the fence about that.
