Interesting idea for the Q. One of our main objectives is that the "HQ" be able to stand alone as a recognizable icon. We want it to look really cool on sporting apparel for promotional use. Could you try adding an h to your q. We also dont feel that the Q alone works since HQ stands for headquarters. Great job!
Hey there - thanks for your feedback. I reworked the icon so it is now a stylized "PHQ" for the full initials. I think the mark is innovative and works well alone. I hope you like it.
The PHQ in #17 looks great! The light electric blue in the center is perfect. The gradient to grey is really nice. The darkest vertical line catches my eye a little too much. Can you soften that?
Also, I really like the overall shape of the PHQ, but can you make it less wide? I don't think it should just be squeezed closer together, but maybe some of the outside shapes could be simplified.
As for the word Performance, we'd like a some unique character to the font that gets our message across.
Hey there - please check #67: I've shortened the left and right sides of the icon so it's now more balanced with the center "H" and softened the center black gradient as you asked. I have also used a more dynamic font for the "performance HQ" portion of the logo. Please let me know your thoughts.
And #68 because a logo must be successful without all the fancy gradients. It has to also look good in plain black and white - especially if you're looking at using it for any type of apparel.
