    It was a very, very tough decision; however, in the end, we felt that #58 worked best for the concept we had in mind. Thanks again for everyone who submitted a logo. We appreciate it.

    The Aggregated Media team is huddling up to figure out which of the logos is the "winner." Really pleased with the quality of everyone's work on this. Thanks.

    Thanks for really taking the time to comment on everyones logos, really helps when there is this two way discussion.

    I didnt comment on your concern over the RSS logo being too similar to Engadget. I personally think they are different enough to get away with. Engadget have used a looser variation of it with more arcs. I have just used the standard RSS icon and added it to a suitable curve on the letter rather than just adding it to the end as Engadget have done, looks odd to me personally.

    It really only fits this way on curved letters, adding the icon to another letter looks odd. So on the recent submissions, I have just added it to the i letter obviously using the i to make up part of the logo, i think suitably different (and better!) than Engadget. :)

    #44 and #45 are definitely my favorites of the bunch. I like the way the blue "pedals" (for lack of a better word) are blending into the globe. I wonder if the arrows could be removed and some lines could be added within the pedals to imply that these elements are flowing into the globe.

    Also, I like the little RSS beacon on all of them. My only concern is that it is too much like engadget.com's logo. Maybe it could be on another letter?

    #42 I love the fonts used here, especially the handwritten tagline font (even tho we haven't settled on a tagline yet).

    I think this one could standalone as text only. Might like to see the word "media" differentiated a bit more (either with boldness or color).

    Eliminating a bunch to get to a short list. Trying to leave feedback on as many as possible.
