#40 and #41 both look much better. Can it go even more metallic. Something with very little or no fade and perhaps one point where light is reflecting. Something that looks like brown, blue and black mirrors.
I really like #165. Honestly the logo looks like it may have been scanned in.
1. Would you please clean up the edges of the design to make them sharper 2. Would you please keep the fade on the left side and make the right side solid, so that the logo looks like it is transforming 3. Would you please make the black even darker, not grey 4. Would you please change the phrase "Making Business Success a Way of Life" to "Making Success a Way of Life"
