A monogram approach with a reference to the publishing aspect of the business.

This logo references the graphic elements of navigation and electronic charting without becoming literal. The type is authoritative but approachable. The logo is simple and straightforward in its presentation; it will work well in 1-color executions (black) as well as when reversed out in white. Thanks!

Neat idea but I think grafikus is working this angle already. See his (hers?) concept #105.

Think standing out on signage at a trade show booth; readable (or at least intriguing) at ten feet, embroidered on a polo shirt; or instantly eye-catching and recognizable on a magnetic vehicle door sign or vinyl lettering on our boat ...

C'mon ... you can do it! [smile]

This concept is much better.

A compass can work in a design but because it's so overused in this business you'll have to do something REALLY different to pull it off. I don't think the depth soundings will help ... they most likely only distract.

But overall, although I see immediately what you're doing, I think it's still more "decorative" versus "informative."

Our story needs to be reflected in our logo:

- small, upcoming self-publisher in the boating industry
- provides cruising guides (books that tell you how and where to go in your boat)
- new player (younger, exciting, current information, uses high-tech and innovative methods for data gathering and presentation)

Let's blow this one up also and try some new ideas altogether!

Thanks, Mark

p.s. A lot of people asked that I don't bin things in the "not interested" column unless they are "horrible. Not a problem, I'll start ranking again ... with low rankings meaning what they mean and our dialog mainly taking place by post. Recognize that I do have a problem in that LT does not tell me when you have posted to this page. I only get notification with a "private message."
