#11 I like some of the direction here. I am seeking a very professional logo and probably lean more towards a focus on something like you are doing with the state, or some other symbol/image that brings the feeling of social/connected networks while letting the GoUtah.com text have a little less done to it. Not completely convinced on this direction, but would say that your effort is certainly better than most of what has hit the contest so far.
Like your thought process. Would love to see some more ideas. Open to having a symbol to the left, a thin line separating it, and company name/slogan to the right as well. Just some ideas.
