I tend to be partial to the darker blue. I havent really liked the yellow letters. I don't mind the more muted contrasting color (see entry #1) but i think it will be harder to see on black and white printing. I think one color for the letters will probably be better in the darker blue. I am not really keen on the lighter blue or the purple. I have liked the splash of yellow when it is very discreet, in a small dose and simple.

I think some of the designs with the bow ties and the crowns are too 'cute' and/or pretentious.

I also like the thinner lettering (although some of the top entries have thicker lettering) it is the concept. Disclaimer is that I havent seen them in thinner... so I may be still open to this...

Note - You can check our website www.vell.com if you haven't already. I sort of liked the Vell Executive Search but not the color. The diamond was too 'feminine'.

Also, I am not keen on the Oracle type lettering. some of the entries have it. When I see it with our logo it bothers me.

Love the blue of #165 best. I also like the blue on #145, #148.
The lighter blue on #172 I like less.

Logos I like the best - need to prioritize the ones I have picked... they are generally in the right order

Really nice entries, thank you! Some of the ones I deleted are very creative but for one reason or another I needed to eliminate.

One thing that maybe someone would like to explore is the idea of the puzzle piece. Building a leadership team is like building a puzzle. Putting a puzzle piece in a puzzle. FInding that piece that fits exactly in your painted picture.

The other idea I gave one person, but the concept didnt take the look I had wanted is the idea of the summit. If you look at the www.nacdonline.org logo, they focus on the top of the pyramid or the mountain.
I am not loving the NACD logo picture. But an idea. thank you again.

Thank you for all the wonderful designs.
I am having a hard time with the top 10-15+ entries. I like many of them. I need to print, and think and ask other people for opinions as well.

my design is very cool n masculin..

Dear Ms. Dora would you like us to also try to innovatively create a slogan for you as well, may spice up the presence of the logo?

Did the contest end early? I went to Submit, and it booted me out. I had an entry I wished to submit.

...

Yes i am agree!

Hang in there. Things will get better.

Sorry i am going all over the place. i took a large poll amongst the top ones and there is some dissention. i think the basic letters may work better. investigating and thinking about it further.

Thanks for the update, Dora:)
