    #25 makes me think of ski's rather than home entertainment, #21 is interesting, can you make a version with bolder lines to see if this stands out more?

    #34 is good but too hard to read.
    #32 I really like the look and feel of it. A little unsure if it is easily legible, have to do some tests.

    #55 / #54 is more legible than #32 hence prefered. I like the idea of the symbol, can you elaborate more on this in this version. Can you create a symbol that has both a link to the brand name as well as home entertainment?

    similar to last design with an icon, but this reverses the K from the wordmark and incorporates it into a rounded square, referencing a play button

    simple icon which signifies the shape of most home entertainment devices, rectangular. the circles are taken from the counters in the letters from the logo and they could represent buttons on a remote, or dvd player, etc. very iconic, very simple, very memorable.

    #167 I like the idea, but I'm struggling to see the play button in it. can it be redesigned to be made clearer, as a consequence maybe also alter the "K" if required?

    another variation on the concept you liked with the K forming a play button. this has the K as the play symbol and also acting as a speaker-type icon with sound emitting from the k.

    Hiya, not abandoned, just flat chat with different projects.
    I have sorted through the versions and run them past some other people as well.
    #229/#305 are strong wordmarks, but I'd also like to go back again to #21 as I have a concern about the look being a bit masculine in the previous. Our main target market are female.
    Cheers

    #345 reads the letter K equally as well as #344, but makes it more unique and improves the symbol as well, hence this is preferred. Can #345 now be merged with the roundness of #337 ? - cheers

    #382 I like the idea, but the top one is too distorted, the bottom one is good, but not clearly preferred over #381, maybe there are some alternative versions of bringing more life / organic to it?

    #361 sorry have had to vote this one out, it's organic and all, but the irregularities / handcrafted feel, may give our products the feel of being irregular / "hit and miss" as well. But looks nice / cheers

    okay hear me out on this. this revised icon was designed with a few things in mind. First, it hints at an organic, stylized bubbly shape. Second, it suggests thought bubbles and people thinking of your product. Third, it still references the shape of the play button and electronic equipment, and it could be viewed as an evolution with the smaller, simple shape in the back as the first electronics, progressing to the shape in the middle and finally, the highly evolved and advanced Kobaro brand.
