While I'm fascinated with the object in Entry #8, I'm not really sure what it is, and how it relates to energy. Entry 7 is right up there among my early favorites because the wind turbine - one of the areas in which we operate - is unmistakable. You've created a nice motion effect with those dots that I wouldn't have thought possible also.Putting the word energy in blue is a stroke of genius. first of all it balances the graphic element, but I like that it makes the whole logo cooler (temperature-wise) which appeals. Good job.
Okay. Number 17 is added to the list of favorites. I love kaleidoscopes, and this one has that kind of appeal. Number 16 looks too much like an automobile steering wheel to work in our application. Number 7 is still up at the top, however. Thanks for the extra effort. You're a very talented young man.
