Hi!
Go ahead and shoot me. I honestly STILL like your original logo the best. (And I say this because in my "former life" I was a graphic designer myself and owned a graphic design/marketing consulting firm. The knowledge management consulting is an extension of my experiences.) I liked the two colors you used in the original logo; I simply am hoping you can make the KM in the darker blue shade and the RM in the medium blue shade. I liked your original icons the best, as well. If you can, think of something "entwining" for an icon. Perhaps I would like to see the KMRM letters with a bit less tracking (space) between them. And keep the original colors. They are great. Your first vision was the best. I KNOW how it is working with fussy customers... reading their mind and trying to figure out what they say and all. So I DO appreciate all your time, effort and work!!!
