4 of the 5 people I have asked for their opinion have all ranked entry #4 as their favorite, however, I am a fan of the colors in 9, 12, 18 and 20. Can you revise your color schemes for entry #4?
I know I have you ranked #3 at the moment, but 7 of the 10 people I have asked for their opinion have ranked yours as #1, they call it "eye candy" and other amazing things. I am tempted to go with their opinion and choose yours but I am the one who has to look at the logo for many years :)
1) Could you make a version of #39 with the globe of #31?
2) A friend of mine suggested I go for a super simple and clean design similar to http://www.bit.ly. Would you mind trying that for me?
