    Design #6.

    I like the art work it reminds of protein synthesis, etc. Could you expand on that somehow, maybe make it more irregular. Good color scheme too. Thanks.

    Is this something that is working for you, I went for a little more of a random look.

    The new art is better, that is more along the lines I'm going. When I talk about irregular types of networks I usually imagine images like this http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~gk/research/localization.JPG. Can you do a couple of versions on design 10? Thanks.

    Design #9

    The font is ok; however, I liked the contrast in colors in that name that you used in the other designs.

    Design #10

    I'm not sure what you did to the font here, but I like it.

    Can you expand on the artwork a little, maybe try and close some of the nodes. Most networks have loops to provide alternative routes in the case of failure. If the central dot/node failed then none of the exterior nodes could communicate. Closing some of the nodes would allow the network to handle node failure. This might sound a little much for a icon, but I'm not really sure how to convey what I'm thinking other than describe some of the background.

    Design #11

    I really don't like the font on this one, its seems a bit early 90's.

    I like these latest too a bit better. I prefer 12 to 13 primarily for the thinner lines; however, its a little busy. Could you try a simpler version of design #12? Maybe reduce the number of edges and nodes? I think 10 is still your best for simplicity reasons, but I really would like the idea of a mesh.

    Thanks for all your designs so far, they're coming along nicely.

    Can you make the artwork a little smaller in comparison to the font? Also, is there any sort of affect you could do to the nodes similar to the font, or would that look bad? Thanks.

    Made the icon smaller in regards to the text, was not sure what you meant when you said "make the nodes have the same effect as the text." So I gave them a gradient just like I gace the text so hopefully that is what you meant

    I thought I would really like this one, but its not jumping at me and I'm not sure why. I would like to see some more variations from you, but I don't know what to ask for.

    Go to this page, http://www.level3.com/services/data_services/index.html, and check out the link for "High Speed IP". I know I'm not giving direct marching orders, but its some more data on what I work in. Thanks.

    I like the shape from design 10 better, can you try it with these new colors? Thanks.

    Here is the icon back to it's original placement, I also gave the nodes on the icon more of a 3-D look with gradients.

    Here is another color option for the icon, just changed up the lines from blue to gray. Also here is one idea for possible business cards, if you are looking to possibly do that down the road

    You are right, I think the grey lines work better. Thanks.
