Like layout and use of colors. I put an update to the creative brief that i failed to mention originally. We are definitely more interested in a mark that is not a direct play of the name and using an actual Gorilla, at least not so prominently. Would be interested to see what you come up with in looking for a non-descriptive mark.
one more thing... can you try a version of #162 on a white background? we want to make sure the logo is interchangeable between a dark and light background. thx.
