I like the idea, and the two variations. I am leaning toward a logo with the graphic to the left of the words. I also like the idea of doing some of the words in the tag line in a different color, as you have done in #12. I am still torn between a neat logo like yours, or one that has some graphic reference to the brain.
I think it depends of what you want to comunicate with the logo to your clients... I think this graphic comunicates a personal growth in a "friendly and simple" way.
Yes, I do think the graphic says personal growth in a "friendly and simple" way. It has gotten positive appreciation from some of the people giving input, and I like it as well. As I said, I'm torn. :)
I keep coming back to your design, and so do members of my team and others who are providing feedback. What they like is what we described above, that the logo communicates personal growth without being too tied into one of our product lines, since we do more than just the brainwave optimization. My question now is whether you think there is anything to improve on in this design, whether there are small additions that could add even more to the idea of triumph or success or achievement.
Also, could you work on a version that just has the name, not the tag line? I am unsure about whether or not it really adds to it. We are also recognizing that the tag line could use improvement. :)
Could there be a star or a light or sun or something that the person is "climbing" toward? What do you think? I like this design a lot and am just looking for small tweaks.
