I like these, but I'm not sure how they stack vs the other options right now. Love the balance and typography.
Wasn't quite sure how to comment. It's perhaps a little stark. I'm having a hard time imagining building a website around this. Compared to some of your work that has a fuller color palette
I can imagine this as a business card and stationery but this is for a website.
I completely get what you're saying. Ultimately, I just don't think I'm the right fit to design your logo. I don't think the color palette is the problem, as you've ranked entries by other designers such as #75 and #69, which are awesome designs and don't rely on flashy palettes. My design is simply not what you're looking for, but don't worry, I won't get offended if you take my entries out of the running. I wish I had more time to explore and present options to you, but I don't.
I see that there are great entries in your contest, so I'm sure you'll get a great logo.
Thanks again for considering me and inviting me to your contest. I hope we can collaborate in the future.
