Entry #6 - The embossed chocolate bar logo is interesting. I would love to see a few variations of the font inside the "bar", as well as the font under the bar.
Entry #7 - I like the idea of the cacao bean. Would you be willing to try a few versions with different type, both in the bean and in the name? Perhaps one version could have the name centered below the bean? These chocolate makers see themselves as fine artists, working in on products that are luxury items, so if there is a way for the logo and font to reflect that....
I am really liking the idea of the cocoa bean still, but in the back of my mind, I keep saying "It looks like a football." I'm having some trouble moving beyone that... Perhaps if you rounded one end a bit more? or Did a "split open" cocoa bean? Or maybe "rough" it up a bit or go for something a bit more abstract?
Here is an image I found online that might help explain what I am trying to say... Maybe something along these lines nestled into a nice scripted "FCIA" ? If you look at the top-ranked logos at this point, you'll see the "feel" that is resounding with my partners and I. http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=2294750&refnum=little_bobek
