StarkLogo Design Contest

There has been a lot of discussion in the group about your logo work. The logos have definitely gotten our attention. Here are some specific comments:

73, 134 - We really like the look of tihs logo, but we can't get past the fact that it looks more like a flower than a star. Also, we like the arrows, but most people don't seem to see that at first glance. We like the reflective quality and dimension of 134, but we would need a flat version for black and white usage.

72 and 76 - This shape has a nice look, but what is the meaning. We want the icon to serve a purpose. Perhaps an explanation would help us get there.

74 and 75 - We don't like these shapes as presented. We are concerned that it looks like a genie coming out of a bottle.

56 and 57 - This idea just didn't get traction with our team.

Thanks for your interest in my designs. Here are some explanations.

#72 #76 It is a shape of "copper cash". That's why I put "financial" as tag line. Maybe it's too Asian. See one of google results:

#74 #75 I was trying to make is looks like "s'. And the shape is like a ribbon spinning up. I try to express a growing feel. Maybe I didnt make it clear.

#73 #134 I'll try to improve it.

Thank you.
