Thank you very much for your multiple entries. They were all creative and quickly got us thinking.
#7 - We prefer this one to #8 but didn't want to discount what #8 could be come.
#7 - we like the design, the playfulness around it with coupled with a polished professional look but would like to see what you would do for tagline placeholder that might add another color or maybe the bubble another color. I hate to guide too much but would like to see how you could add a tad more power behind it.
$8 - What I like most about this logo is the use of an icon. This is not something we need but a good one is always great to have for future growth and branding. Something seems off balance here to me. Maybe the icon could come down a point or two or maybe it's the color. I would love to see some other options around this design if you are interested.
Thank you very much for efforts and we appreciate your further work if you so choose.
