Thanks to all who entered. Some great ideas here. I will make a decision within the next few days.

This is getting really exciting. I am seeing great potential for several of these, and will probably have a very hard time deciding, so please show me everything you've got!

I just want to say -- there's a lot of talent here. It's going to be hard to make my final selection!

I just realized -- I gave you the wrong wording for the tag line!!! The CORRECT tag line is "Specialty editing services for bioscience and medical researchers"

"Publish" and "Perish" both need a capital "P", not lowercase.

Also, to clarify: "Editing" is an important word, but not more important than the rest of the name.

Hi designers-- Please remember to show me your logo with the tag line, in addition to without.

I'm pleased with some of the the more recent efforts here. I think we're on the right track, but I don't want to limit the designs to green/black/leaf motif I suggested. I'm hoping for some other creative ideas too.

To those who might be unfamiliar with the phrase "Publish or Perish": This is a slangy phrase that expresses the idea that in academia, you must consistently publish original works (books, research papers, etc.) in order receive promotions/tenure/grants.

I also want to emphasize that the work "Editing" is an important part of the company name and should have the appropriate emphasis in the logo. It is not a "throwaway" word like "inc." or "services" might be.

OK- I didn't realize I could write directly to the designer. Thanks for letting me know.

TO ALL DESIGNERS: Please read the brief! Design should be MODERN, PROFESSIONAL, SOPHISTICATED, and SIMPLE!!!

#5: Too informal and unsophisticated.

#8: This one is not bad, but can we tone down the imagery and make it look a bit more formal?
