Thanks for your entry. We've heard back from our client.
They feel that logo #8 is not bad. Like the creative font selection and feel it has nice "action" with the orange trying around the 4. Could you make the 4 stand out more? We feel it might get lost visually. Try adding a blue shadow or something to pop the 4 a little more. We'd also like to see "results" raised a little and lower the word "business" a little to offset it from the 4.
#7 likes the use of "focused, accountability, results" at the bottom... but hard to read
Hi! We appreciate your efforts, but our clients have indicated that they are favoring another design, and we are in the process of getting final versions from them. We understand that this is how you make money and although we know you would like a different outcome, it is not going to happen on this design.
So instead of stringing you along, we are going to eliminate this design so that you can focus on a project where you may be in the running to win. This project is not heading that way, so we want to respect your time.
