This is for both #2 and #3. I'm not a fan of the bird in the logo. I don't like the teal/light blue color in entry #3 and the "hurricane" shape that the bird has it's beak/bill in.
Enter #10 is good. I like the metallic look of HCI how it is red at the bottom of the lettering and slightly changes shades of red as you move up the lettering. Can you do the same thing but with a maroon color? Also curious to see what other picture ideas you have. I like the "head" logo the best out of your latest entrys. #11 reminds me of the Washington D.C and the capital building so that one is out.
Thanks. I'm not sure if you saw but I updated the contest brief today. Here is what I wrote "Here's another thought that should help. I don't mind some type of picture or design to go with the letters HCI and/or Human Capital Intelligence, but I'd like to see designs without the use of people or a head for the image."
I don't mean to confuse you because I do like you're first "head" logo the best out of all your entries. What I was looking for was more entries without people or heads as part of the logo. Maybe another design and it could be any type of design to go with the HCI logo.
