I understand what you are saying about "freshness", but my preference seems to be leaning towards the designs with darker designs. I like the font and darkness on #8, could you please use that with the graphic from #23? I would also like to see the graphic from #23 with the font and darkness from #15. Also, please note it should be "Numbers", not Number"
Could I also see #28 graphic with font and darkness used on #8?
I would like to describe another idea I had as a variation of the graphic on #23. For the outer circle, I would like to see four segments, with each segment overlapping, beginning on the inside and ending on the outside. I see alternating the the green and blue colors. This design would show a cyclical process -- something that is part of my service. Keep the inner part the same as #23.
I was able to upload my drawing (please excuse my crude sketch) figure how to post on my beta website to show you (see below). It is a little slanted...I didn't scan it level and couldn't figure out how to fix that -- the letters would be level on yours. Hope you can see it!
