    #1 - Emanuel Felip. This is a little bit too simple for us or we would have created something like that ourselves! (well known font, Verdana?). In any case we chose to seek designers for this reason to eventually go on and build our website. Any "clean" concept is good though. As a reminder to designers we will require more design work of a high quality for our website (aswell as someone who has experience working with stock photography) for continued development that is planned!

    Thank you for your entry! Hope to see more from you!

    Best Wishes,
    Adam

    #3 - Comi - Nice Design, this is getting a bit closer to what we wanted. I was hoping for something similar to any of these: http://99designs.com/contests/8418

    As obviously, being an IT Support Company, and providing people with web help, stylisation and impact is important.

    Emanuel Felipe: Although I accept that less is sometimes more, I could jump into CS2 and create some text and add a microphone to it myself :-). We are approaching designers because we'd like a stylised design that uses the capability and imagination of the designer. Simple is great. Bland is bad!

    Comi - thanks Comi for your entry, the best so far! It still needs to be more professional than your current revision. What would be ideal is a character or object that fits in with the welp name. I've seen some really impressive logo's that do this on here, so was hoping for a logo that is identifyable and recognisable.

    Thanks guys,
    I hope to see more entries :)

    Best Wishes,
    Adam

    #4 Comi - Thankyou for your re-entry! I can see a vast improvement there. I think #4 is closer than youre #5 Comi. I think that I can't really fault the quality of the design, it's pretty professional. I'd like it if you could build a more integral shape (other than a circle?) - something designer smart.

    Again this is the closest design to what we want so far!

    Thanks very much Comi, more feedback will be on the way soon!

    Best Wishes,
    Adam

    I think I best rephrase this "I'd like it if you could a more integral shape (other than a circle?) - something designer smart"

    What I mean by this is, the logo will need to be able to "hold itself" on any background, it would be nice to have some smart colour coding. Again, I loved almost all of the designs in this contest http://99designs.com/contests/8418. This is mainly because the logo's can be used on our business cards, website, and a webdesign hopefully can be extrapolated from the logo, rather than vice-versa. Hence why it would be nice for a highly ordered and identifyable (symmetrical maybe/symbology?) logo.

    If you would like to discuss anything further i'm available on msn at azio@game-zero.com via PM.

    Best Wishes,
    Adam

    #6 - Sevenluck - Super simple. Super contrasting. You get a straight-in 3/5 here. I know you can do better! I like the simplicity , I'm rather interested to see whether any of you can come up with a logo that suits a web help company more suitably. And although sevenluck, i love your contrasting and simplicity, I can't help but think that the company needs some brand identification in the logo (and likely used/adopted in future corporate identity(ies)).

    To summarise, i really like it - I feel there might be something missing, I would appreciate any other variations you get time to do.

    Thankyou for your time,

    Best Wishes,
    Adam

    #7 - abjam77 - Thankyou for your entry. Unfortunately this is well below the standard I would expect from an experienced Designer using Photoshop. If I wanted to create some text with a high stroke, and add a gradient to the background layer it would take me about 2 - 3 minutes. :) How long did this take you? Also we are seeking professional designs only; sorry you have to do a lot better than that!

    Thank you very much for your time,

    Best Wishes,
    Adam

    #9 - Abjam - Thanks for your re-submission, it is very thoughtful of you and I appreciate it. I always give very honest feedback, and frankly your concept is the best conceived, I just think you're concept could have been executed better graphically, I'd have given you 3 stars otherwise.

    Thankyou for your time, I look forward to seeing future work from you!

    Best Wishes,
    Adam

    Comment for all entries - If any of the designers get time to try and incorporate more of a company identity into their entries this would be benficial to us in selecting the best logo.

    This is not mandatory, just useful to us :)

    More comments to come, Thanks,
    Adam

    Added bold highlighting to parts of the brief I feel are still important and should be in the logo!

    #16 - Zohaib - some really good ideas, I don't feel they were developed enough to jump in at 4 stars like #17. The reason for this is I'm not entirely convinced integrating a symbol in the text is the best approach, also I feel that professionality in such text/symbol integration is difficult without being total pedantic.

    However, you are the experts so I am now wondering what you think. :)

    Best Wishes,
    Adam
