Hello, I'm RMS24's partner. I very much like #154 but have some ideas of my own on how I'd like to see it. I know my partner likes the current 1st place logo because it has a simple, corporate look. I think it's too simple thus the reason my number one choice is your #154. I think we could make some changes that would make it work for both of us.
1. Make both arms at the people's sides instead of one arm grabbing another persons head? I think that would get rid of my partner's "alien" issue.
2. Make the text more like the 1st place entry (simpler, darker gray, justify slogan so it lines up with "RMSimple" at both ends.
3. Get rid of the gradients that are towards the people heads, so the icon is a little "flatter", but not too flat like the 1st place entry.
4. Change the orange person to match the darker gray you would put in the text in number 1 above.
You're the designer, so I don't mean to tell you how to do it too much, I just think that with these changes my partner and I might be able to agree on your logo! Thanks. :)
