Hi CopyCat, I like the look of #1, but I'd like to see both M letters capitalized in Marketing and Method (sorry forgot to include that in the contest details).
Also, anyway you can integrate orange into #1, maybe in the text or even in the image to the left?
And if you can make the letters in "Marketing Method" even larger and curvier (kind of like a Web 2.0 image look), that would be interesting.
Thanks for your fast response, I definitely take that into account (especially because I plan to do a future non-logo related project with a designer)!
#5 is not bad. The image to the left of the logo though doesn't seem to blend in well with the text, and it doesn't seem to have any significance, maybe you can clarify that for me? Also, anyway we can get some light orange into the logo text, maybe in the word "Method"?
Also, please review the "Our Ideas and Additional Information:" section of the contest brief as I have just updated it with several examples of company logos that I like. This way you will have a good reference for the type of text that I'm looking for.
