I bet it is hard making a decision, if I may I'd like to reiterate on some positive points of my designs.
1. The design is roughly a square which brings up placement in design applications, with an aspect ratio of 1:1 it can fit easily in most merchandise situations. i.e. Vinyl logo on your vehicle door, hood, trunk or rear windshield. Coffee mugs, hats and shirts and jackets (clothing apparel), header/footer prints, flyers, postcards, business cards, etc. Very easy to work with, without skipping out on the creativity.
2. With the quality of gradations/fades, there is nothing simple about the logo. It is not compiled in Microsoft Word consisting of one or two colors with a basic drop shadow. It is custom tailored and your clients will see that. Clientele will see that you take care of your company and the same will be passed to them.
3. Being that the logo is the way it is, embossed or "popping" off the screen, this is a great opportunity for digital appeal. Clicking on your logo as if it is a button, is a great feel for a link to your website or online business/advertising.
4. Nothing says professional and trustworthy more than over 60 overhauls on the logo. I see what you mean by the evolution of the logo. :)
Thanks for your time and courtesy. You are a great client for me and it was a pleasure. Any questions, comments or ideas I'm here. Cheers
