I am not huge fan of using eye candy effect in any logo. a design needs to be strong both visually and in meaning without these additional effects I've uploaded several new designs with and with out additional effects.
Scott, If it's not too much time/work, could you make the bottom of #79 look like #84? I like the darker font. Also I like the design of #79 but would like to see a few more colors. I see the design as people and I work with people from all over the world so the colors are quite meaningful to me. Again, only if it's not too much. Thanks, Jodi!
