A mix between corporate and gamey style. Hope you like it, It works fine as one colored on any background

-Thanks for the feedback. This is a mix between the gametechy and corporate financial look. It is a play of the letters VEC VanEdge Capital. Techy spin mixed with finance bars. Hope you like it. BTW I presented in 1 color only so that we can see how the logo looks in its simplest form. Alot of effect can be applied later on.

Thanks

Hi Terry - thanks for the tip on messages...

I want to sleep on #40 & #41 - very nice design, not immediately grabbing me as the right mark for us, but I want to sleep on it. Interesting...

#50 & #51 - as I have the chance to see more entries, I am shying away from big, heavy emblems - one of the things that attracted my partners and I to #29 was that it was a little less overpowering with the emblem than a lot of the other entries.

Thanks for taking the feedback on keeping backgrounds simple. #49 I think is getting too clever in the sense that I think our clients will have to work too hard to see what's happening - to me cleverness works best in a logo when it also is immediately clear what's happening (obviously this rule doesn't always hold up - I just noticed the arrow in the FedEx logo this week after looking at it for umpteen years). I don't think #49 will work, but I want to also sleep on it before rejecting. Thanks though...

#40 and #41 is actually a depiction of "V" your company a little out of the box. anyways..I'll be posting soon.
thanks

-VC

-Upside down keyboard arrow keys..usually used for games. Also the letter V in the mitosis styling.

Thanks Terry for the variations on a theme #65 and #66. This will be an interesting contest - no one entry is jumping out as slam dunk, yet I could be happy with any one of the top 5.

Terry - I like the design on #67 and #68, but I see an abstract person before I see the visual play and the "V" and the "E". Main issue I have with that is that there are so many HR type companies, personnel companies, training companies, etc that have an empowered person as part of the logo. That association is stronger in #67, so I'm removing, leaving #68 so I can think about it and also discuss with my partners, all 3 of whom are in China this week. Thanks!

#86 & #87 - as usual, I'll want to stew on these for awhile, but first impressions are mixed - on the one hand, I love the cleverness of the play on the "V" and "E" - it works both conceptually and visually for me - it is strong and immediate per some of our earlier discussion - an elegant, visually strong association of the two letters. What's holding me back is the overall weight and style of the lettermark - I realize that "first impressions" and "associations" are personal and subjective, but that's unavoidable with a mark, and in this case my first read was of an airline logo circa late 50's/early 60's. So I want to stew on both of these.

This is an inspiration from the classic brick breaker OR arkanoid, that breaks the bars and keeps your ball in the game.

#172 & #173 - very cool designs (and appreciate the old-school game reference), but we are tending to simpler treatments - I think this will be a busy for us.

#92 - I've been brewing on this one for several days, and although it's a clever execution, the busy-ness of the bands is an issue.
