Grant Stevens LLCLogo Design Contest

I thought I would begin with a classic low key look. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

I like it. Can you give me a few more examples in the classic look?

Not quite classic but I guess there is how things developed on the re-draw. Are you preferring a classic look or more of a technical look? Thanks! Daye

Daye,

I prefer a classic look as the focus of he business is management of IT not actually the technical aspects of IT. Entry #1, #2, #4 and #5 are more of what the image of Grant Stevens should portray.

Daye,

I like #8 and #1. Can I see a few more examples in this look? Can you also give me a few examples with the various color combinations of blue and grey, burgandy and grey?

Thanks for all your effort it is truly appreciated.

Hi Chris -- Can you be any more specific? For example -- are you thinking an icon with the GS in it or just an icon or mark? Font change or...? As we know, your logo speaks a message (graphically)...what am I missing? Thanks!

Daye

Daye,

You know, I like the icon examples with the initials GS, but I also think that if there was just a recongizable icon that related some way to the type of business services I provide. I guess if there was a icon or mark that represented that message with the Grant Stevens name and tag line it might work. I like a look of a clean clear font that makes an impact. So I guess the esamples demonstrated so far we working.
Hope this helps!

Chris

Chris -- Let me work on it. Thanks for the input. It makes it somewhat easier.

Daye

Daye,

I like the look of the last two as well. Can you take out the shading?

Chris

Hi Chris -- Which numbers? 9, 10, 11? I will be glad to. Thanks!

Daye

Without the shadows. Is this too light -- maybe a darker blue?
