I like the concept. The GC is great, and I also see the glasses (depicting geeks). I also see them as cubicles with the pupils being people. Very nice.
What if we try a small modification and make the pupils of the eyes look like a top down view of a person? Not sure how to accomplish that and keep them looking like eyes. Just throwing out some feedback.
Can you make the C look more like a C while still keeping the glasses look? I think it would still work. Put the opening of the C on the right side, but you can still keep the two connected like glasses.
The "people" idea didn't quite turn out like I would have hoped... but thanks for trying. The new logo with the C opened up correctly looks great though! I really like the way it looks and the multi-tiered message it sends. I have been rejecting so many other logos of people copying what you have already produced, I am worried that when they see your great logo, no body is going to want to compete. ;)
there is no shortage of creativity here! have no fear. there may be a lag in entries until the end, but typically contests are flooded in the last couple days with new ideas. I will also continue to think on your project to see what I can come up with!
thanks for the great feedback! as long as you continue to take an active interest in your contest, the designers will continue to come!
