I really like where Entry #27 is heading with the cross bands that accent the idea of fusing. Can you please recreate that logo with less of a web 2.0 feel and more professional, clean, fun? Lose the reflection. I'm liking the colors and the topography. See if you can't just put a professional spin on that design. Reference this http://www.speaklight.com/ to see what I mean by professional and clean. Awesome work.
One other thing I told another designer that you need to hear is we are really focused on having an icon to the left of our logo such as LightCMS does. You can see how their logo is graphically about light and therefore promotes their name, LightCMS. We are wanting that same goal, which is when you see our icon it promotes siteFUZE. I'm sorry I don't have any great ideas for the icon, but that's why I came to Logo Tournament to get help.
I'll just through this out there, but maybe a electric cord plugging into another cord to show connectivity or maybe the cord connecting to something that could represent the web or a website. Does that kind of provide a direction? I'm not saying that we will love those ideas I'm just trying to get you on the right thought pattern.
Moving closer to a meaning full icon. Let's lose the orbit lines on the siteFUZE text and give a little more letter spacing to the letters so they don't look so pressed together. The icon feels a little busy and outer space like. I am grateful someone is finally starting to build an icon to represents our company and name, rather then just something abstract.
I do want the FUZE letters to be connected. So when you are adding letterspacing to the topography don't change that part. Just making sure we don't take any steps backwards.
Aside from the circles fusing, I would like to see a few other ideas on how we can convey fusing the elements of the web without being to abstract. I know this is a bad example but a cord plugging into another cord, but something real like that. That would carry over the idea fusing without being to abstract.
To provide some further guidance I really like this one: https://logotournament.com/contests/tutorsbox This have the right text feel along with perfect imagery. Rather then a sqaure root sign on the box have something else. I would love to see your spin on this.
