Thanks so much for joining the competition! I kinda like #43 and will keep it in the mix. Not sure what to comment on that would help you but if you have any more ideas I'd love to see them!
#86 -- I like that even better!!! Nice coloring! A couple of comments, though: the "icon" graphic looks too big in comparison to the text. Can you enlarge the text? Also, I'd like to explore the use of a different font -- something a bit thicker with a bit more "character" -- a modern sans serif that has something a little different to it like the angled ends in the one used here: https://logotournament.com/contests/zvelo/by/illumina.
Thanks for trying some different fonts. I think we should stick with one in which the "V" has a sharp bottom point rather than a flat bottom. Can you enlarge the text in #86 and see how that works. I think it's currently too small for the graphic.
#106 - I prefer the rectangular version. Can you make #102 look like it's raised a bit to give it a slight 3D look? Like how a rectangular button might look on the web.
I think you might have misunderstood me. I like the colors of #102. You didn't need to make them darker. #110 is the one that became too light when you gave it the 3D effect.
