Thanks so much for contributing a design (#1). i like the integration of the forger into the V of 'Venture'. One concern is that I found that image online and I don't know it's copyright status, so I'd want to modify it a bit more to make sure we don't end up violating some else's mark. Perhaps you can play a bit with what the forger is working on, or do something clever with his hammer or anvil?
The red for 'Foundry' looks good -- would you be able to experiment with orange as well, to get closer to the idea of fire/foundry? Also, do you think 'Foundry' would read better if it were a bit more bold?
Thanks again for your effort. It's so great to actually see something.
#11 looks good, we would like to see the man in #11 incorporated into the design of #9. We think that without the guy in #7 and #8 the design looks less compelling. We also really like the red background in #12, it grabs the eye a bit more with that extra color. Also, do you think that using some other colors like orange or yellow might make the logo stand out a bit more?
