I like where you're going with these. Entry 25 has a nice clean feel to it. The product is definitely about intersections. Speech balloons are great but might suggest social interaction where the focus is professionally created connections. Do you think that will be the impression? Can you try variations with intersection of pages or shapes other than speech baloons?

Thanks Vea,
Liking 25 and 36. looking at 22 and 23 again, what about alternate shape for the speech bubble there?

Would the 22,23 options, translate well / be clear at the scale of an icon?

Hi Tom, here are the updated options:
#54 #55

I have taken into consideration that you will be using the logo as a fav icon as well, so I kept the designs pretty simple and easy to resize.

Vea,
Thanks for keeping the favicon format in mind. can you take the speech bubble tail off of a version of 54/55 and maybe 22 for that matter? Would making the border thinner emphasize the connected pieces?

One way to look at the frame around the text is as our window on to news that gives us the connected pieces.

Great submissions!

Vea,
Another thought on 32 with opacity: http://modevux.com/
Does opacity come across in print andother forms? in favicons?
Thanks,

Neat new options. 64 is an interesting turn, something piercing the page, representing navigating through the page. What about navigating through pages? What about other piercing shapes?

Client
Vea,

Entries 74 and 75 didn't really retain what i thought was interesting about 64; the swoop going through the page. Can you add a page to 64 and modify the swoop shape, maybe remove the grey accent to the swoop?

Regarding entry 36, would darkening the lines of text be too distracting/too busy?

thanks,
tom

Yes, revisions can be made in Judging mode too. I will get down to the changes and post them shortly.

Hi, here are the updates with a page and different types of swoops:

#95 #96 #97 #98 #99 #100 #101 #102

Client
Thanks,
like the first swoop style best as carried over in 97. Text lines are making it too busy. The swoop conveys navigation, if you can weave it through two pages, it makes more sense.

Was the change to 96 a darkening of the text lines? very subtle is it too heavy if they are even darker?

#104 - darker lines
and the other changes:
#105 #106 #107

Vea,

One last request, can you show "LinkableNews" in Eurostile font?
Again, first time user question, in the contest brief, I asked the winner to also include a favicon, what are typical deliverables?
Thanks,
tom

new variations: #152 #153 #154

Typical deliverables for LogoTournament are EPS file (vector artwork) and JPEG (raster) file. Favicons are also fine - they're just PNG files with a really small size (16 x 16 px).

Okay, thanks. i'll close the competition and we can finalize the version and format. I'll also need patone numbers for colors matching printing.
