More notes on the font: I don't think you're too far off. I really like the 47. The "P" and "B" less so. and we want to make sure that "PUBLIC" doesn't look like "PUBUC".
On #126, can you remove the space between public and 47, but keep the overall length the same. In otherwords, ARCHITECT should be exactly as is, but he space between P-U-B-L-I-C and 4-7 will slightly increase to absorb the space that was once between the C and the 7.
Really love #130, but a couple of requests: Can you make "PUBLIC47" slighlty less bold--not too much, just slightly less. And can you stretch it out just slightly so that the rectangles are just a bit longer.
I think I still prefer 130. I do like 139 and 140, though. The less bold PUBLIC47 is too equivalent in weight to ARCHITECT, so I recommend moving away from that. One other thought for 140 is do lighten up the line-weight of the box.
I think I prefer 147 to 148. Can you do two things--slightly increase the boldness of PUBLIC47 (you're really close to where you should be) and slightly decrease the font size for PUBLIC47--the P and 7 should maintain their left and right justification, but the spacing between letters will increase slightly. Then decrease the height of the black box accordingly. I'll wait to re-rank.
154 could take it if the black rectangle got a little smaller so that the margin on all sides of PUBLIC 47 was tighter. Obviously, this would mean ARCHITECTS moving up accordingly. Good work!
Hi. I'm moving a bunch of yours to the "not interesting" category only because they're variations on a theme. I have a feeling that you have a very good shot at this logo and as we get towards the end, I may ask you to refine things, at which point, it may be helpful to have some of these variations on hand. I hope that makes sense.
Hi, I prefer your #130, #140 and #151 designs to the later ones. Honing in on these three: Can you do #140 exactly the same but have the outline box be a slightly less bold line. Same advice for #130. And can you make a new version of #151 that's simply #130 but without the box around ARCHITECTS--otherwise exactly the same.
Can you do one more version, in addition to the circle version of 250. This one would be a black circle with white public (same exact font and boldness and kerning as 250) and orange 47. Thanks for all your great work.
