What if you concentrated on the concept of success instead of connections? When people work with me, they want to be stronger, better connected leaders who are ultimately more successful at whatever they want to do. Most have had a leadership role in the past, but now they are striving to be even more accomplished, noticed, and taken more seriously as leaders. They want to be CEOs for the first time or they want to be promoted or they want to be thought leaders in a new realm. It should ultimately be about success here. We don't have to pound on that in the tag line but the Leader needs to be highlighted.
I like the icon in #145. Not sure whether it's going to work to have the text stacked like that, but I can see why you did it as it gives more height to match the icon. Is there any other ways to play with the icon with color? What about putting it on top of stacked text with Well-Connected on one line and Leader on the next - with or without the Inc. The Inc. is not required.
Dear Mr_Do, Thank you for all the great choices. You do great work.
For #112 and #177, can you add any dimensionality to the purple icon? I am not that excited about the fading of the purple, as in #175 and #176 - but perhaps you can try other ideas to make the icon pop a bit? Maybe making it look like it has an edge or three-dimensionality to it in some way?
Yes. I don't think the gradient in #175 and #176 is really working.
Are there any other color options we could play with on #177 on the icon itself? Can the little dots be in a different color than white - to get a 3 color logo? Or maybe a gradation of colors across the dots radiating out?
Could I also see #177 as is but with a red center? Thanks.
