great start..has lots of potential
The font looks too much like the "Marriott"...and perhaps "A" is too subtle

sorry our original feedback seemed to not go through...so I'm going to review it again...sorry if you get two versions of this.
1. Please spell Associates as I just did...the "i" and "c" were inverted in the title
2. We love the direction you are taking 62, 63, &66
3. Could we see something with utilizing speech bubbles or something that communicates collaberation or small groups of people talking?

GREAT job!!! Truly nice work

We really like 88, is there a way to round off the corners of the "talking bubbles" to make it a little more obvious what they are?

Great work!

Also, regarding 88, we like the concept but are concerned that using primary colors in the "talking bubbles" might be confused with some Microsoft branding. Is it possible to experiment with some different color schemes? We like your use of dark blue/gold and grey/gold, could we try those colors?

Thanks again!

Also we'd like to see what it might look like if you made the "talking bubbles" a bit more "bubble like"...
it's hard to describe but we wanted it to be more obvious at first glance that it is what they are.

We apologize for all the reiterations for feedback...we are hoping to give the correct wording to describe our thoughts. We love your designs. You are doing great work.
Thank you.

We are very happy with your designs so far. You're doing really well, thanks.

We like 89 & 90 as well, but we'd like to see it in the gray/gold colors too and any other variations on this theme.
It's got such great potential due to it's representation of "discussions"---this (focus groups and 2-3 people interviews) is the cornerstone of our business thanks.

Additionally, 89 and 90 are both so great "idea wise" but the speech bubbles look reminiscent of another emblem for a hotel called the Double tree..could you make any more definition to the bubble itself to avoid that? Perhaps change the angle from which the point of the speech bubble is coming from?
Thanks.

Sebastian,

Thanks for your work. Your submissions are consistently in our top 5 favorites. There are two of us here who are evaluating the logo submissions, and we both like what your doing. You will certainly be in our top 5 designers. Due to time constraints, we may not give you any additional feedback until we make it to the "Top 5" phase, but will resume feedback then.

Thanks again for your work and creativity!

we really like the idea of the intersecting speech bubbles in 113, but it still has a similar look to the doubletree emblem for a hotel here in the states. Is there a way to keep the speech bubbles intersecting without having the arrows pointing down? Maybe more from the sides so they don't look like the doubletree at first glance?

Thanks again. We are so happy with the work you're submitting. Looking forward to seeing any more of your submissions. Great work.

Hi, Thank you,
Here are new speech bubbles versions for your consideration:
#122 #123

Sebastian,
114-I like the bubbles looking like they are coming from a more downward angle...not straight down to avoid the tree look but not so horizontal(as in the newer version) either. Any changes you can make to this theme to tweak that would be great.

113 is looking terrific--i would love to see a more metallic sheen tot the gold and perhaps explore a darker gray.
Additionally if you come up with any ways to maximize the "speech bubble" look I'd love to see it. I want the emblem to be recognized at first glance as being made of speech bubbles. communication/feedback is the key.

is there a way to do a combination of 143 and 144?
i like the color and gradations of 143 best, but could we see what it would look like to have less curve to the points of the bubbles in 144. I like that they curve in more than 143 but not so much that they actually make so much of a swirl look at the center.

113 is still a stronger contender...the modifications made haven't gotten us the look we wanted...we seem to still like 113 best, just wish we could make more of a distinction as being the talking bubbles and less of the double tree look...and we still aren't sure how to do that. Feel free to play around with it to see if you can come up with any changes. Sorry we can't seem to put our finger on what might be the final tweak. It is a very good emblem, we just want to stay away from anything that is reminiscent of a popular emblem here in the U.S.
Thanks for your efforts. We are continueing to see amazing work from you.

YES! This is definitely what I was referring to.
152 is great but I'd like to see the overlapping part of the bubbles being the metallic gold color...indicating that is where we find the value... or "gold" by hearing multiple comments from various people.

149 is almost perfect! I really love your work thanks.

For both designs, I wonder if we could see how it looks if you make the gray a bit darker "graphite" gray and then highlight the metallic look of the gold. Also could we see the bubbles as they might look if they were 3D such as more "balloon-like"--a white reflection in the corner of the bubble to make it less flat looking? This is just an area to explore.

156 is great. the bubbles definitely look more 3D--thanks.
But I was wondering if we could see it with the color in the circle as the gray and the color inside the speech bubbles as metallic gold?

Great work.

could we 149 similar to 156 with the 3d look to the bubbles?
