Love the colors, and it is cool, but we are not looking to make the mark or logo out of the S in Social Gravity. We want to brand Gravity (attraction, bringing people and businesses together) and then use that same logo across every single Gravity company (Social Gravity and Political Gravity for now)
The boss moved you up to #2, and they really like the 3d feel, love the colors, but a little concerned about the S, plus it looks like the Safeway logo. Again, we are trying to brand GRAVITY, and not the word SOCIAL necessarily, though we are a social media company so that it important also.
That certainly removes it looking like an S, but not sure that does it. I have no idea if there is a way to keep the colors, the 3D look and feel (which is cool), the circular shape, and make something else out of it? We are not real fond of making the G for Gravity so obvious, but maybe that would work? Maybe another design inside that sphere will work?
Remember, we are going for: Gravity Attraction Bringing people and businesses together Cool Techy looking Professional
