Am I right in thinking the logo is for steadymig? - not your company name ??

Yes you are correct. We want to base the logo around the brand "Steadymig" I like the simplicity of your design, but there are a few things that I would like to avoid.
- The logo will be printed on stickers and placed on our machines. For this reason I would like to avoid drop shadows.
- I know its only early days, but the font is a bit basic. I think the key will be to stylize the font.

OK, I get you - I'll give you a few options, here's the first. Thanks for the feedback - that helps a lot, keep it coming!

#21 Much better ratio between the background and font. I also really like the clean, simple, professional look. However, the font still looks a bit basic. Are you able to give some thought around the look of the font. We are really looking for a unique style that indicates quality and reliability, without just looking like plain block letters.

#22 The font is a bit heavy

As a general comment: Are you able to give some thought around the possibility of using lower case and perhaps incorporating the tail of the "g" into the design somehow? what about italics also?

#49 I find the font a bit to be a bit feminine

#50 Thanks for another variation, but I'm really looking for a font that communicates quality and reliability of our product. The vast majority of our customers are men, so I was really looking for something that would appeal to a bloke.

I like what you did with your Go Pro logo. I'm not suggesting that particular look would suit what we are looking for, but I like the way you incorporated the font into the design.

Here's another variation - I was experimenting a little with the script style fonts, but now I know what to avoid ...

#51 I like the idea of a border because it will make things that bit easier when we go to arrange stickers and transfers etc. Although, I like the font you have used in #52. Perhaps a combination of the two ideas will work well. I find the font in #52 is stylish and easy to read, and I like the variation on your graphic on the end.

Thanks for keeping the ideas coming - I appreciate it!

#52 Something I forgot to mention earlier regarding the colour yellow. We have a another range of yellow machines that are aimed at the lower end of the market. I don't want to confuse the two. Yellow font is probably ok, but a yellow background tilts the balance.

Are you able to try the black font against a silver background? If you have other colour combination ideas I would really like to see them also.

#62 I might have given you a bum steer with suggesting silver. It seems to lack the punch of your earlier designs?

#62 It is interesting how we all see things a bit differently? One of my colleagues has ranked this design as the number one. However she feels it is a bit small. Are you able to make it the same size as #71?

no problem at all - here you go ...
