#36 is looking good! Could you make that but with a little darker blue like #41 and #39?

If you could make "computer repair" a dark blue color similar to #30 also, that would make it stand out better :)

#53 looks good, and if some small changes could be done it will likely be ranked first :) Could you make a few of these with the power button looking more 3 dimensional instead of 2 dimensional? For example, have the inner portion of the power button depressed with a shadow between it and the outer white line? Also the PDX turned really shiny also - are you able to make it look less shiny?

#47 looks REALLY good, but the power button itself looks really plain compared to the rest of the logo. Is there something unique you could do with that?

On all of the logo's, could you make "computer repair" a little more bold also please?

You are an amazing graphic designer!

Not to give too many hints away that I love your logo, but if you have any other ideas for a power button logo background, I would be more than happy to see them :) It kind of looks like a guitar pic (at least that's what my colleagues say :)

new design , shield for protection, repair and security

(This comment references Entry #54)

#54 is now ranked first! I absolutely love the idea of the shield. A friend of mine said that the power button looks like it's flicking him off, lol! Could you possibly make the power button look more like #30 but a glossy black? #30 has some space between the O and the line through it which makes it look much more like a power button than a finger :)

Also the "computer repair" is still pretty light. Could you use a slightly thicker font, a slightly darker color, or maybe bold it so it stands out a little more?

Once you do that, if you could also make a black background of the same logo please?

See above comments :)

I know your probably sick of me by now, but for some reason the power button doesn't jive well. Maybe it wasn't the color to begin with because gray/white looked better than how it is on the newer logo's. Maybe, for some odd reason, it just looks too 2 dimensional. Is there any way you can retract my last comment and go with gray/white and make it look a little more 3 dimensional (anti-flat?) Bevel maybe? I'm not sure :(

Also on the word "computer repair", it went a little overboard maybe? The gray on that was nice as well but the lettering was just slightly too faint - I think simply making the thin lettering a little darker in color (black?) would have been sufficient :)

#48 is also looking pretty darn good to me. If you have any ideas on improving that one a tad I wouldn't be inclined to disagree :)

sure no worries, I'll make a few revisions and post shortly

I'm revising the others as well

Hey Scott,

I still like #66 the best, but something is off with the power symbol. I'm not sure really what, but I think it needs to be gray and beveled or inner shadowed or something. Kind of like this: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-53409448/stock-photo-metal-power-button.html

If you could do something with the shield and make it have a gray metallic outline with a beveled inner shield, I think it will do wonders for that part of the logo. Basically I want it to kind of look like this, but a shield instead of a circle: http://gurutrack.com/images/power-button-icon.gif

If the inner shield had a shine similar to the circle in this one also it would likely stand out nicely: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-7507528/stock-vector-power-button-icon-series-four-colors.html

Lastly, if you can put the "computer repair" that you have on #48 onto #66 but make the color black, that should fix that part of the logo.

great direction thank you..I'm on those specific changes..I'll post shortly

shield update

(This comment references Entry #98)

Scott,

I'm pretty sure, after a LOT of debate, that #48 is my choice thus far. It seems as though the shield concept just doesn't fit much and seems like it is getting too complicated. Could you make a black background version of #48 please?

Thanks!

here is minor update the the blue gradient

Hey Scott,

Do you think you can change the wrench on #48 to a health cross symbol? Also if you could make a version similar to #106 but instead of spanding the gloss over all 4 icons, do each one individually kind of like how they do iphone app icons?

Pretty much like how the itunes and app store icons look in this picture: http://paulgalbraith.com/267854912536548/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/itunes-iphone-app-icon.jpg

sure will do

Yea, unfortunately I just read up on it and you are completely right. I'm not sure if it classifies as using the symbol if the color is not red, though? Not sure on that part :) I'm anxious to see what you've got steaming up in your pot of creativity!

how about a medical bag instead of red cross, symbolizes in business service

(This comment references Entry #116)

how about a laptop medical bag!

(This comment references Entry #119)

The laptop medical bag isn't jiving well with me, but it was definitely a great attempt :) The medical bag cross looks ok - but knowing you, I don't think just "ok" is good enough :) You've wowed me thus far, do you think you have anything else up your sleeve for the last icon?

Great job on the shiny icons by the way!

I really still like #116 the best. Is there any way to change the medical bag to a laptop with a cross on the screen instead? I really think that will finish it off :)

Go ahead and make a black version of #122 and that + the white version which is ranked 1 right now are my winning choices. Please see if you can make sure the quality doesn't degrade :) For some reason, it seems that the quality of the image degrades with the black versions? Thanks for everything Scott.
