I like the colors and font look, particularly the second and third logos...but please, no squigley line. I should remove the .gif of the constellation altogether.

Is there a more subtle, clean logo that can be built using just star points and positioned to the left of "Hydra" like the reuters and the markets logo in the links above? No squigley line...I realize no one can recognize the hydra constellation, it just looks like a random line.
I see what you mean about randomness with the lines when connecting the points ~ trying to keep it more subtle and clear with these ones. I thought it would be a cool idea to integrate the graphic into the text, but this might add an element of chaos, any further guidance would be really great, thanks again! Al
The one I ranked #1...can you straighten the square logo out so it's not tilted, not vary the colors in the font of "hydra" (keep it solid, keep it professional) and finish out the "A" in hydra.
The one ranked #2...can you remove the moonring from the logo, make the logo smaller relative to the font, make the two stars in the logo less star and more just dots.... finish out the "A" in Hydra (the horizontal bar is missing, we want less sci-fi feel, more finance / boring / sturdy feel. We prefer the font in logo #1 actually.
The one ranked #6...can you remove the swish that goes through the entire Hydra...and just keep the one big star to the left? This one could work...i like that one star logo without the swish and all the other dots...
Good job. We are leaning on logo of #1 (without the dots above Hydra...please remove those dots above...we like the one star as is) or logo #2....The dot-matrix logo you made looks nice, but it actually looks like the old CapitalIQ logo. We can't do that.
Some changes:
1) Can you shrink logo #2 relative to the text even more.
2) Use a darker, navy-bluish blue. It think logo 2 actually has 2 shades of blue in it. Only use one.
3) Can we try out some different fonts for Hydra. The fonts reminded us of a Toyota, Honda, or Hyundai car, and we don't want that. Something more plain.
4) not sure if we should stretch out "strategies" to fit hydra or align left or right...we'll think more about this...
Thanks! I made the necessary changes and a few other additions but must apologize for being unable to comment on the last wave of entries. We have just been in the process of moving.
Anyhow, Here we have a few more ideas: I put the entries in columns so they would be easy to read with some juxtaposition. I am personally fond of the typeface used in #91 however I like them all, 91 might be too bold, Would love to hear more of your thoughts Al
I think we're getting close. We like the logo ranked #1 (your #80)...but still can't shake that "this looks like Honda or Hyundai" font feeling. #80 seems to have some spacing irregularities. Space between D and R and not other letter. Don't know if this was deliberate, but can you fix that?
With #80...can we see it with just Dark Blue, Grey, and Black used (so the star will be made with grey and dark blue) and no green...also with dark blue background with white/grey type? Just a few combos of colors around #80.
Thanks again, hope to get this done soon...I think the changes we asked are not too problematic.
I do see what you mean about the auto likeness and I am currently working toward possible solutions. Its no problem at all. Its an honor to be of service.
Not a problem with changing strategies at all, and thank you for the patience. I have been working on the idea of trying to depict the star symbol over liquid and as strategy itself. Thanks again!
