Michael HyattLogo Design Contest

This is the first thing I thought of. Although it is relatively simple, it fits well with your existing brand/identity. Same helvetica-esque font, and same colors, but with a subtle glow—since you are ONLINE.

I will post other ideas as I finalize them.

Thanks for your consideration.

Here it is as a one-color white logo, to match the aesthetic of your name.

This is kind of a random thought, but did you ever consider buying any alternate URLs? The reason I ask is being able to navigate to michaelhyatt.com, just by typing in mh.com, would be pretty cool/convenient.

Just a thought!

Thanks for jumping on this so quickly. Here are my thoughts:

#1: I'm not sure I like the gradient. I think it looks like a cloud is overhead and casting a shadow.

#2: Clean and simple. I think it would fit nicely. I wonder if we could get away with another font.

#3–#6: I tried to buy the mh.com domain, but it is "invalid." I guess they don't allow two-letter domains. Having said that, I really like #5 and especially #6. I think #6 could work all by itself without the ".com" part.

Good work!

Thanks for the quick feedback, Michael. I will see what else I can come up with, and will post other options later this weekend.

Here is that last logo you liked, but without the ".com".

Here is a full layout for you to see how it would fit with your current logo. (And then it could still stand alone, when you need to use just a crest.)

I like #43 a lot. I would only pull the size of the crest down a but so that the top and bottom margins fit the ones on the type.

Your design has really helped me clarify my thinking. I like the idea of a crest that can stand-alone when I don't have room for the whole logo. It will make a great favicon, too.

Good work!

I was actually debating the size issue myself, and trying to decide if I liked it better with the crest bigger or at the same height. Now, you can see which you like better in a side-by-side comparison.

Thanks. I like this. I am just debating whether the rectangle should be a talk bubble or not.

See if this is closer to what you had in mind... I will be gone from now until about 9:30pm central tonight because of my ball game. I can be on then, if any more adjustments need to be made.

Thanks.
