#6 #7 I like the idea of the graphic, but the yellow and green are not as strong as I would like for this concept. Blues and grays seem to be a better fit.
really like the "chrome" metalllic feel of these logos. like the text and colors. huge improvement over the original designs! With the logo, here are my thoughts. These are indpendent business owners, they may see the "joining together" of the logo not representing them. They will be working together to help each other but not necessarily become "one" does that make sense? They are working together, but will go back and operate their own business from the help they gain in these teams.
Actually it is a concept that describes the budding of trees that are growing, but thank you for giving me rank 2, hopefully the next entry will be more in line with your expectations.
