PredictivezLogo Design Contest

In case it isn't clear, the company's name is pronounced like the "z" is an "s" -> Predictives :) I don't know if that would be useful, but I thought I'd put it out there, just in case.

#1, #2 HAHAHAH I'm gonna go with the bigger "Z" on #2. :)

It was a toss up between #3 and #7 for which we like better. The swirl (eye?) in #8-#13 is okay, but too big. #16 was a little strange - and some of us prefer non-gradient for the "Predictivez" word. Thanks!

Just some general thoughts:

We're okay with just a wordmark - it doesn't need to be a pictoral/abstract mark.

A distinctive but easy-to-read font is important. We don't want to seperate the "z" from the rest of the word.

A "crystal ball" or "seeing eye" does symbolize seeing the future (prediction), but they are already really over-done, so if you include one, it should be really, really unique.

We use it in a business intelligence market.

Mathematical or business/analysis themes are interesting.
