Thanks for the feedback/direction... I'll see what I can do, at the same time I wouldn't encourage shying away from a medical cross as its plays into the brand - making it conceptually relevant, in turn - making the logo have that "oh, cool" factor...
I think you're right, after looking at #8 for an extended period of time, I do like the medical cross play on the connecting people. I guess my fear is if it starts getting like #7, I don't want to look like a hospital and give the impression that we provide any actual medical services, we are only providing a service for people in medicine. I hope that clarifies/helps.
Edit: Mogeek, jw what would you think if the colors on #10 were a little bit brighter?
