There is no way I will need to wait 6 more days on this. You all are extremly talented. I would be proud to display any one of the above logos. But obviously I can't and I'm challenged to narrow them down.
Here's what I like about #1:
the font
the clean look
it appears strong and credible
the "swish" guy is elegantly simple and I "think" it works
What I would like to see changed:
Although orange is a very cool color it doesn't feel right to me for my brand
And I don't think I favor grey. I think I will end up with stronger more primary colors. I'm using the work "think" because I'm honestly not sure about the colors and shapes yet. I need to see some more.
#'s 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 are creative for sure. I applaud anyone who can see the possibilities. To me these have a strong artistic element that I would imagine would be very appropriate an cool for a film, skateboard, CD cover etc. For me this look doesn't feel like it fits my buyers: Presidents, VP Sales etc. Hope that helps!
#'s 2 & 3 have a punch that I like. They feel strong. Now having said that I have seen many logos with primary colors that don't possess the "sophistication" I'm looking for. #1 has a simple elegance, solidity and a feel of sophistication. It will be interesting to see how I feel about #1 when the colors are changed.
In summary I am looking for a logo that projects "power", "influence" and "authority". One that has a serious feel of "SALES RESULTS ARE FOUND HERE!" A logo that exudes an "unstoppable energy" yet at the same time is sophisticated. That seems to be tricky? If we get lucky and come up with a super cool "symbol" of some sort that people's heads lock onto and remember, like the Nike swish, that would be awesome!
Thank you all.
