Dear CH,
I hope you like my concepts. Please, rate, provide feedbacks or eliminate them if you don't like them at all. I ask you about that because if you keep entries without ranks it stops the process, we can't proceed further. It's bad for you. Moreover, we can use unused concepts in other projects in the future.
Personally, I provide clients with designs I think will work, so if you don't like them from the first glance we probably won't work well together. We are designers here, and we have our own vision on things to be designed. If you have your own idea in mind you don't have to hire a designer, you need a illustrator who will draw everything you will tell him.
Still, #1, #6 and #9 are the best concepts submitted by me. Please consider them. It's modern, complex, has a luxury touch, clearly communicates what company does, and it's "smart", you can use this logo (icon itself) without font-part. It's visually readable as Stage 72 or 72 Sage...
Thank you.
