I'm placing one of yours in the top ranked. I like the one with the light gradations better. We really want "Network Science" emphasized over "yale institute" (many yale institutes, not what makes us distinct). Thanks for your entries!

I like what you're submitting. We're seeing a lot of "just Y" designs, but I think we will end up wanting to see "YINS" instead. The Y looks too much like it's just Yale. Maybe something like 31 or 89 using all 4 letters?

For #79, could you put the text to the right of it and then try some different shades of blue behind it (thinking more dark to light variation vs. changing the color much)

On #78, my concern is how difficult it is to make out the Y when the logo is small. This will appear on things like letterhead and notecards, and I'm a little worried it won't look good - that they Y will disappear. If you could somehow reinforce the outline, or maybe its the "innards" that need to be a little more bold to make sure they don't fade into the background...

I meant #80 for that last comment

On #250, could you try not having all the hexagons around the letters completely closed? Just delete a couple and see if you can strike a nice balance. Networks always have a strong element of randomness which would be nice to capture to some extent.

#78 is getting a lot of approval. Could you try it without the blue bubble, with words to the right, and maybe a few different fonts?

Hi - I've stopped changing the rankings because I now need to get clear input from a number of key decision-makers. I'll be showing all of them a representative sample of your work in order to arrive at their pick of the best designer. The specific placement of the top logos now may not be entirely accurate by the end of that process, but it is the best estimate based on feedback so far. So everyone still has a chance. Thanks for your great designs and good luck! ~Tom

Hello. Sorry for the long silence but holidays here in the US have slowed down the progress here. I am about to lock in the winners, and you are now very stable as the top choice (I am trying to get consensus from a few people). But could do one more version and show me #75 with the dots WHITE, and also the writing on the side (to the right, as the others like that are done)?

*Also* Can you specify at which point you started using the official Yale typeface (just 267 and later?) and if it is ALL letters or just the capital Y?

thanks for your patience!
