Hello, One of the points that you mentioned is: "We need a logo that has a pictorial or abstract element as well as the name, so that we can also separate the pictorial/abstract element from the text in particular forms of advertising. (some examples of this are Nike, Apple, Professionals Real Estate and Firefox)" 1, 3 and 4-th ranked dont contain that pictural elements that you mention. I'm confused as well as the other designers. Please, explain what direction should i take. Thank you
Definitely follow our comments, we were simply ranking the style that we liked so its a combination of the two. You will see now that people have altered those designs to add a pictorial element, so all the ranked logos now have the pictorial element. I hope this makes sense :)
