I like the concept of the image. I can tell a story about the energy transfer from our "input" going into the company and making things move. Nice idea. In #12, I am concerned that the gradient will look like the ink is low when this is manually printed on documents. In #11, I would like some color and I do like the placement of the tag between the "p"s.
I Like #16. I am a bit concerned that the tag line will be too smal on a business card. Can you try it stacked like number 12 so it can all be a bit larger?
#18 and #19 arent as good. I found the capitals hard to read so close together and I missed the text between the "p"s. If the image was above the words like in #12 it might give room for larger text.
I still like #16 best. Is there any treatment to show the incoming bal starting outside the box by making the angle larger? The incoming ball would have to be blue. This would tell a story of consultants thinking outside the box entering into a stagnent company and creating movement and energy
We have settled on the Logo design #22 as the winning design and only have one remaining concern. When the logo is printed in grey scale on a standard laser printer there is almost no distinction between the two colours and "pivotalinput" becomes quite difficult to read. We like the dark blue so don't want to lighten it up too much. Unforunately as well. the lower case L and upper case I in this font look the same so that is confusing.
Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue so that the logo will be effective when printed on a laser printer in grey scale?
