Second CIO LLCLogo Design Contest

BTW, unless it fits nicely for some reason, don't feel like you need to include the "LLC" in the logo.

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage more participation.
~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered.
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you are going to see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested"
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

1st place - 50 points
2nd place - 20 points
3rd place - 10 points
4-6th place - 5 points
7-10 place - 3 points
10th on - 1 point

To everyone--you are doing awesome work. Thank you for all of your time and talent. We really feel we'll end up with a great logo. We didn't know what we would like until we started seeing some of the designs.

Here are some things we are really liking:
~~"second CIO" all in the same line or close to being in the same line
~~emphasis on "CIO"
~~"CIO" in 3-D format (web 2.0 look) and larger than "second"
~~maybe some type of watermark or shadow to mimic "CIO' and/or
~~maybe some type of orbiting design around "CIO" or all of "second CIO"
~~"second" all the same height (either all upper case or all lower case) and maybe not 3-D

Here are some things we are wanting to avoid:
~~"2nd" (we want "second" spelled out)
~~figures of people, unless they can be done in a completely unisex way
~~"CIO" above "second" (two lines)

We've narrowed down the styles we like to a possible combination of: word mark, abstract mark and web 2.0. At this point use any colors you like, we'll have you tweak those towards the end. We hope this feedback inspires your creativity instead of limiting it in any way. There may be a design we have not seen that uses some of the things we are wanting to avoid, but is still a great design. We trust this feedback will give you clearer direction to what we're looking for. Thank you.
