I love the freshness here, yet it still looks clean and professional. This could almost be the winner. I'm still struggling with myself whether I can live without a pictorial mark. But I like the style a lot!
Thanks. Think about many of the top brands that don't use a pictoral mark. From Paypal to FedEx there are plenty of them out there. Also, I can see using the 3 color "v" as a pictoral icon for certain applications. It's better than a generic paper icon that doesn't have any real meaning behind it.
