I like the general horizontal orientation of # 7, #9, and # 10. I don't think # 8 would work, with the image either above or below the text.
As for the colors, I like that the colors in the image are also reflected in the text. But all the images are too similar to a question mark or perhaps a sickle. I don't think that my target audience, lawyers who tend to be fairly analytical, will see that the images are related to the letter R. I am open to a more abstract design, but this looks a bit too unconnected to the name of the brand.
In terms of colors, I think # 10 is a bit too plain. I do like the blue/green combination in the text in # 7 and # 9.
One option that I would like to see is the use of a raindrop to highlight the R in rainmaking.
Hope this is helpful, and I look forward to seeing more of your designs.
For # 24, I like the cleaner image. Would prefer to see the R in a san serif font or a font that looks different than the font used for the text. Would also like to see the word rainmaking be emphasized more than "for lawyers". So perhaps the Rainmaking should be in green with "for lawyers" in blue.
Thanks again and I look forward to seeing your next designs.
Now that I've seen the sans serif versions, it seems you were right with # 24. Would like to see variations of #24 with the R in green, working with combinations of color for the text. Want the word "rainmaking" to pop out and be emphasized.
Of the new designs, I like #32 best. #33 and #35 make the ward "lawyers" too small and #34 is too vertical in its orientation. That might be hard to use on a business card. I like #36 but #32 is a bit stronger.
Thanks again. You have given a lot to think about.
