Hi Paul
In #8, we tend to refer to ourselves as "Pivotal" and so that should be dominant or equal in the logo rather than "input"
#8 and 9 The change to the font to texturize it is interesting but looks like it would get lost in reproduction. I like the darker steel blue from #5. Maybe something in between. Also, the tag line isnt necessary if it is constraining you. If the tag line is there, change the "In" to "in". Our mistake when posting it.
The arrow has many of the right elements. How about a longer skinny entry and a shorter fat exit with the pivot point offset to the right? For #9, that might make a wider graphic element that goes right across the top.
Thanks
Nancy
