I like the design of #10 the best and I've ranked it as #1 at this point. Could you do a couple variations on it? I'd like to see it with a different font, still sans serif but not as wide. Also could you do a version in a different color scheme? Ignore my color preferences for now. I know I had picked red/gray/black but I'm not loving how it actually looks. Let's see what you can come up with on your own re: colors and ignore my preferences.
I think blue always looks kind of nice in a logo even though you thought you might not like it. I'll try it and change fonts, too. Also if you want to browse my portfolio you can tell me if I've used any color scheme in other jobs that you want me to try for yours. Thanks for feedback.
