can you please try a steel plate in front of the granite stone? The letters will be cut out of the steel and will show the black background. Also can you try a different version of a black background with some white or grey shades, like a marbled stone.
#2 please redo with more of a black marble background more veins and also create a copy where there is a bluish haze fading out from the bottom right corner of the marble
Ok so the Bluish haze is clearly out. not working. I like entry 108 the best. I'm concerned with the background. I don't like that it is visibly split into four sections that needs to be smoothed out. I like the logo on top and the name below. That layout works better than the side arrangement for me. I'd like to see some black marble not granite. dark black marble with fewer but more prominent veins that cross the background in one direction. The Marble should be very Black with white veins. perhaps zooming closer on the marble would work better. the font and little box should appear more brushed steel like than white. Let's try that
We need the background as part of the logo. It must be consistent with the background of the site we are working with. We are not satisfied with the background but we like your logo. We are waiting for other designers for the next 23 hours. We're also asking if you can use a black, grey, white marble background.
#121 (black marble) #122 (grey marble) #123 (lightgrey/white marbel) but with silver steel isn't work IMO. Maybe with black metal (#128) or silver steel on dark bluish marble?
#145 and #146 with only a black background LogoTournament.com has a rule about abstract background. We didn't allowed to use stockart or image for the background, so I must create the background in vector format that need more time to make it. I can give more attention for working the background after you selecting this logo as winner if you still need the background as the part of logo.
Credit Suisse use custom font from Linotype (http://www.linotype.com/2743/corporatetypedownload.html). But I found a font that 90% similiar with Credit Suisse font ( #181 ) #180 customized typeface to make it 99% similiar with Credit Suisse font. #182 #183 #184 background and steel effect applied with #181 typeface.
