#9 - very good first attempt. I like the clean emblem, but don't like the orange/green combination. The sun/light might work, but if you could find a way to incorporate an aerial/aviation element that might improve things. The "Precision Imagery Corp" font needs more impact...
#8 - The color and geometric blocking is too overwhelming... The emblem could be improved if it incorporated a smooth transition between colors and the font was more dynamic... I do like the direction of the "PIC Precision Imagery Corporation" logo/font...
