Absolutely love love love the clean lines and the gray background w/pop of a bright color. I think you really hit the nail on the head with what we were aiming for. Entry #9 is my favorite so far and I think that it would look great as a hang tag sewn into a garment. I like that it has a matte look (even though it is on a computer screen right now.) I would love to see some variations of #8 that maybe have a little bit of a lighter gray or are a little bit less "dense". I like where you were going with Entry#10, but it sort of reminds me of a pin striped suit, which is probably how our profile reads. We are hoping that our ties will remind people to have fun and not necessarily to associate ties with an uptight office environment. I am excited to see some other options!!
I still really like this logo, #8, if you could please possibly use some different font options (with the letter a little closer together) that would great.
