We like #2 the best of the first 6. We'd like the snow boarder/skier to be coming out of the bowl itself, does that make sense? And to be a little more obvious, you can't really see him (her). We like the mix of caps and small letters and the emphasis on soup.
#3 is very abstract. we want it to be more obvious, with an obvious bowl of soup and a skier/boarder.
#4 we like the boldness, it needs some color and some graphics (skier). We like the steam in the letters.
#6 The design is interesting, again, it's important to us to have skiing obviously shown in the logo.
The name is a play on words. A back bowl is a specific part of a ski area, the big, open face of a mountain. We would be open to having a mountain, a big peak worked into the design, with a soup bowl and a skier.
