Just a simple web 2.0 idea with a vague pool reference.....to get the ball rolling. Please provide as much feedback as possible. I will get your ideas to where you want them to be....Thanks and good luck!

A circular "exchange" connecting many parts....

(This comment references Entry #10)

#10 i'm not feeling it so much... it's still a little too simple... it doesnt POP out... i'm looking for something more unique, like your original designs (#1 & #4)

#6 i dont like either

Here we go...Now we are moving in the direction that you'd like I believe....keep the feedback coming. It will get us to where you want to be...Thanks!

My favorite so far.

(This comment references Entry #21)

This has deeper font treatments...more color and I added bubbles for depth...

(This comment references Entry #33)

I think the depth is starting to grow...shadows and gradients, along with the reflection are giving this concept some reel dimension. Let me know what I can do to improve this for you....

(This comment references Entry #34)

Here is what it looks like in B & W....should you need to print it the contrast can be adjusted...it should not be a problem. Once you've seen it just toss it into the "not-Interested" pile and I'll withdraw it.

Thanks...I'll keep working!

Excellent work

This comment references entry #33 ...

Ok Tilly, lets try something here....

The concept and colors are super! now, lets see if we can somehow incorporate or 'suggest' SIP into this...

Here's wikipedia's definition of SIP:
"The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol, widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP)."

Maybe we can incorporate 'bits' and 'bytes' of data, or some sort of metaphor for phone calls...

With a tail of "bytes"...

Sans bubbles....

I am here....just trying to think of some ideas for this new direction...your making my mind work overtime...LOL I'll have something new by tomorrow morning.

Much more minimalist in its styling, this mark shows a plurality of "conversations" going on at one time....thus the VOIP generation....

This is a variation on the previous....the conversations are made possible by the "pool" below

#42 is great... there's just too much emphasis on the '.com' part.... i think it can be a little smaller, or not so bold...

Can i also see the revised concept in Blue (instead of green)?
thanks.

Here you go...Good call by the way, I like this better....I changed it to blue...De-emphasized the .com and I noticed the red balloon gradient was off...I added a little more yellow to the bottom. I think this helped the colors a bit. Thanks again for the helpful responses, you'd be amazed how many people think we are mind readers.

Hey Tilly,

Another idea now to expand on.... Look at brewster's post: #56

I like how he has those lines around the thought bubbles to emphasize 'communication' or 'activity'...

can you come up with something creative like that to expand on #43 ?
Thanks.

My dilemma is that we are not supposed to copy any concept of another designer. (though he clearly copied my idea of 3 speech bubbles...LOL.)..I have to be very careful so as to not get in trouble with the site staff in this area. I will be out of my studio all day tomorrow, but If I am still your first choice, then by rule, I can make changes AFTER the closing of the contest. The 1st ranked designer can continue making changes. If you'll bear with me and allow me to speak with the designer of #56 and explain the rules and situation...as a courtesy.

I will check back on my mobile to see if you respond...I will not have access to my studio computer until tomorrow night.

i'll bear with you... i appreciate your honesty.

In this one, I simply added the sound waves as per your request.

just a bolder version...

(This comment references Entry #87)

This concept uses an icon to convey the message...

(This comment references Entry #88)

this one blends all of the better ideas....

(This comment references Entry #89)

This is my new fave...It is everything that you have asked for in one concept...bright and colorful...yet minimal. This is the essence of web 2.0 in look and feel.

(This comment references Entry #91)

with a toned down font...

(This comment references Entry #92)

Still here...I have a few more ideas up my sleeve....

(This comment references Entry #101)

just an abstract "s" with a fluid feel...similar to the previous one.

(This comment references Entry #102)

The simple shadow adds a great deal of depth to this concept...while keeping it minimal.

(This comment references Entry #103)

I have refrained in putting reflections in my recent entries. It can over complicate the design sometimes...They can be added to the final file should you chose...

(This comment references Entry #106)

Just adding some lighting effects

(This comment references Entry #107)

Thanks for the opportunity, I will be out of my studio today but I hope I have presented you a widely diverse group of concepts...If you feel that my talents can be of help to you after the contest, please PM me for my contact info...

Good luck with your judging its been quite a journey!
