Thanks for the entries. I like them both and only put #16 in not interested because the yellow font for the tag couldn't not be read easily. With the constant line behind the bee it almost makes the earth look more like Saturn... perhaps dots?
The bee.... does not necessarily need to be a bee... most bee designs I've seen have them looking a little too "mean". Probably due to the yellow/black combo.
I am glad you like it. Here is another slightly modified version with a glare on the buzz and the "VBM" with no dotted line through it. Thanks for the feedback!
Option with an SMS text box incorporated for you to consider...a little birdie (or bee) told me you may like that! I think it will work well as your avatar as well. Thanks for your consideration!
I do like the text box. Nice job incorporating it. This is really tough... but I'm thrilled with all of the great designs. My "focus group" is split too.... so any way I go, I can't go wrong.
