I love your work, and think with a few minor changes we could be onto something here. Could you please remove the basketball, whilst this is a big focus in the products that will be available through my site, I don't particularly want to be considered sports specific.
Happy with the circle behind the character to be in two colours as displayed in entry #108.
I like the font used in entry #106 best (with a bit of a polish up, perhaps incorporate some blue and a thick black keyline border), I get a little lost in entry #108 and I feel that in the infancy stages of my business my branding needs to be clear.
I really like that you have incorporated a character into the logo. This was something I was originally looking for when I entered the design brief. I think this really brings the entire logo to the forefront. I do have some minor concerns that I will hit some trouble with copyright law and AND1. http://www.florian-blum.de/fotos/Logos/AND1_Logo1.jpg I know that these are different, however we might need to come up with something alittle more defining to avoid some issues. What are your thoughts?
Entry #157 is my favourite of yours thus far. Will try to forward onto my partner for further thoughts & feedback today, otherwise will discuss with them tonight. The athlete is looking good, what were your thoughts regarding my concern above about AND1? If you have a couple of different font ideas to consider also, I would be happy to vew.
I really liked all your designs incorporating the dunker but I feel it's just too close to AND1's previous design and I do not want to place my business in a compromising situation, hence why they have been moved to the not interested column. Please do not take offence, it is purely a business decision. I think it was a very creative design otherwise and it is an excellent display of your talents.
