I like #18/#19 as well, especially the glossy effect, but I think for printing etc. it's not ideal. And maybe to "complex" already for the "straight" design I have in mind.
I like #16/#17, as they both look nice on their respective backgrounds... for some reason way better than #11/#12/#13. Looking at #13 as an example for the 3 variants, I think the massive amount of white in #13 (respectively black in #11) next to the orange elements puts emphasis where there's no need for it... it confuses a little. In #16/#17 it appears more... discrete?
Besides this logo-upgrade-thing here, I have another project running... IT#s about an ethernet-network testing-device.
And looking at #16/#17/#57 it just came to me, this might be suitable for that one! If that's OK with you, I'd like you to focus on that... completely non-competitive with the ongoing tournament! The main idea behind the device is to find the corresponding endpoints of 10... 20... or more ethernet connections within a local network. As the devices kind of blink to signal their connection to each other and to show which one is connected to which one, we're juggling with names like light-house, beacon, TorchWood,... whatever. #16/#17/#57 could just represent 3 abstracted cables coming together... If you could make them 3 all orange and put some sort of shiny white "glow" on their inner tips where they meet, that might just become the thing! And with the colors and the three elements it wouldn't be too far from the ProCompSys-logo, so that the relation between the company and the product could be rrecognized (we don't think we want the company logo itself for the product). What do you think?
Sounds cool, however can not make any agreement here, and we must comply with the rules. First of all trying to win this contest, let me try another design concept :)
Ah, sure... sorry for that... that was not the intention. :-) But it looks like I'm ending up with two or three final desings of different designers I'd like to keep for different purposes... :-o
Many thanks for your efforts, but I think I'm going with cube man's dino, sorry. I definitely need your #17 and #57 (the three swooshes forming some kind of circle! Why are they withdrawn???
