I really like the first entry. There is a logo that someone posted that has a solid 3D feel to it, maybe you can take what you have done with entry 23 and create more of a 3D feel to the circle around the MSI. Can you create a logo with and one without the slogan? We aren't sure if we are going to go with a slogan.
I do loke the 3d alot, yes. I am not sure if we will keep the slogan, but the option is good. I think I would like if the gray was a bit darker, closer to a black.
Can you make the I a lowercase I? Also, can you create some sort of edge to the actual letters? While the round ball looks great in 3d, the letters themselves are a bit 2 dimensional.
