The logo and company name will be used for premise/yard security signs and stickers. The yard signs will be made with reflective paint. I want to make sure the colors that are used will show well at night, sunlight, etc. If you have seen an "ADT Security" sign in someones yard I am talking about the same sign concept.
#1 I like the design, basic but to the point. I don't know if I'm crazy about the colors being used. I like that you have showed "sound" waves to show the sound reference and it looks like you have used bolts to hold down the NW utilizing the security reference.
#2 #5 #6 I think the pitchure in-side the shield is mountains and a sky line. I like the idea but I think the shield should be bigger. Colors are OK, I would like to see some other variations.
#3 I like the design for the most part. NW should be bigger in the shield and I would like to see some different colors used.
#4 Very different from the rest of the designs, I like it. I would like to see the reflective name removed. Name needs to be bigger. The design is......well I'm not sure what it is.
