The Speaker's ChoiceLogo Design Contest

Logo's #6 and #5 are giving an indication of sound, which is good. I'd like the logo to be a bit more indicative of spoken communication from someone tying to motivate or influence. We help business professionals present themselves more effectively - in front of large groups in a ballroom environment, also smaller group meetings in a conference room, or even more informally 1:1. If you can find a way to indicate powerful communication, that is my goal.

Thank you!

Thank you for the designs so far. I revised my brief a bit. What I really want my audience to feel when they think of us is that we help them: SPEAK - CONNECT - INFLUENCE with whatever size group they are speaking with. That is the essence of what I'd love to convey via the logo if possible, while keeping it simple. Thank you!

Thank you again, #18 and #6 are close to what I think we need. Any other ways you can represent . SPEAK - CONNECT - INFLUENCE in the logo while still keeping it simple would be great. Thank you very much.

Thank you designers. Sorry I keep asking for more changes. Just not there yet. A few other ideas -

- The arc lines do a good job of indicating sound. but could be mistaken for sound waves coming from music or a sterio speaker. Please see if you can create some other way to indicate sound, that is is for sure coming from a person speaking.

- Making the entire logo more masculine would be better too. Here are a few thoughts. for whatever you come up with for the "sound indication of a person speaking", lets make that grades of blue. Also can we have the font for The Speaker's Choice be more masculine looking font.

- Since I do want some orange, how about an orange line under The Speaker's Choice? Add maybe orange lines or dashes between SPEAK - CONNECT - INFLUENCE?

Thank you again for your help.

Thank you designers again. I like the font best for #31, 35, 38. The graphics just don't do it. While I want the logo to have a graphic, it can't be too cartoon like. Can you try some samples without the graphics and also how about some sublte shading of a graphic indicating some communication?

Thank you so much for your help. It is tough to get this nailed down.

New idea that came to me late night. Let's focus on a graphic that indicates INFLEUENCE. The goal of working with my clients is not to get them to speak but rather what that leads to - connecting with someone or a group and ultimately to INFLUENCE them. The image of dominos came to mind, or possible some type of arrow. Something in this realm is it. Thank you.
