Wow. Thanks for the big effort! Time for me to narrow it down.
Let's work off of
#45 and
#58/
#59.
For
#45, I'd like a different font for the name. Something a little more formal for my target market. Something like Trajan Pro or Garamond or Veranda, probanly with small caps?
For
#58 &
#59, the same above comment on font of the name applies. I really like the perspective of my current logo. I think it "explains" that one is a projection of the other through a lens. But I may have overdone it a little. The name must remain legible because of the next comment. One thing I don't like about my current logo is that I've got my name too many times. I think twice bracketing the lens is enough, so please drop the name at the top of these designs. Finally, I'd like a little more "point" to the top and bottom of the lens. In the real world, it's actually a flat rim, but schematically, it's often shown pointed. I've never seen a curved end, so that might obscure the idea that this is a lens.
And on
#59, what if there was a black boarder on the outside? It would make this usable on a gray/black background, as well as white stationary.
