1131666 2010-08-26 08:29:00 Hey guys,

Thanks for all your feedback and votes.

Without replying to everyone individually;

The logo/brand doesn't need to stand out. All it needs to be is recognisable, reasonably attractive and easily remembered, the work that comes out of the firm is what needs to stand out. The design industry runs heavily on word of mouth.

Of course everyone is going to have different perspectives, such as Jen.

@Cicero;

Was that a conceited attempt at providing feedback due to the amount of flowing curves?

Cheers for your response none-the-less.

If the logo failed to meet the demographic and target market in which your company was aimed at, then sure. But the reason for someone not liking it is that it doesn't sit right with their emotional viewpoint is what a lot of companies can get lost in.

This is exactly what I thought after looking at it for a while.

1131672 2010-08-27 10:38:00 I voted for #1 as the best of a bad bunch, because most people would see #2 as having a swollen i in the middle, and #3 looks too much like the Greek micro, as in µD.

#1 is tolerable but I'd have to see the letterhead and signage versions to give it a reluctant final nod.

For a graphic design business I reckon these are well wide of the mark, and I think you are too close to the question to be objective. I'd scrap the lot, and my advice would be to think about your target market and what sort of image you want to portray to them, get that into words, then get an outside designer to sketch some ideas.

I drew up some ideas for my company and took them to a professional designer, who took one look, said nothing, binned them, and inside of 10 minutes produced a killer logo that expressed everything I wanted and it still does.

Cheers
