I just wanted to thank everyone that participated in this contest. Deciding on one logo was actually a very hard decision for us. We were quite torn. A huge thanks goes out to falconrebel, ocp, design pres, and cafemocha for your great entries. I appreciate everyone's willingness to present such thoughful works. And of course, Geca, the contest winner.

A bit of insight on why we chose the winning design...

Geca's combined works made up a visual story that clearly illustrated a picture of our business. Through the usage of his combined works (#93, #84, #85 and #39) we will be able to not only launch a new corporate logo, but a new brand. We have decided to commission three more of Geca's works to use as visual marks for our product offers. Geca's usage of consistent style and execution among his series of designs was not only technically difficult, but conceptually clever. Our requirements for a literal logo that still looked futuristic and energetic was difficult to say the least.

In the end, my suggestions to any and all designers are to think past the logo and grasp a clear vision of the brand foundation that we are trying to build. Try to envision the business model, and marketing plan in your head. Then put connect the vector points or pixels to sell a story, an image, an experience.

To many of you, this is old hat. To some of you, this may be a road less traveled. To all of you, much thanks. I hope to see you in my future contests. Take care, and be well.

I will say that a lot of the designs look very much like Microsoft Office, and I don't want people to be confused. If the logo looks too much like business software and not like business services... it might fail. Overall... there are many nice designs here.

In a nutshell, we need a logo that shows what we do - we enable people working from home to have a complete corporate facade... business address, plus corporate office space when they need it, and all the services a business requires (phone numbers, receptionist, etc.)

Turn your home into a corporate environment, plus hook into network of other businesses to receive reciprical discounts among members. This is why we thought of taking a house and turning it into an office building. Good luck and thank you so much for your hard work and time.

Yeah, well I have a 6 year old daughter and a 5 year old daughter and they too keep me very busy. I was at a wedding Friday through Sunday and did not have internet access where I was. Sorry to all for not being as responsive as I would have liked. I've jumped back in and have been trying to be as helpful as I can.

I do not want to confuse designers by giving people one star just because they did a logo. If they tried to incorporate everything in the brief they will probably get at least one star, even if I don't agree with the design. If it's something that get's me thinking... 2 stars. And so on. I too have entered contests on this site and have not received any feedback or stars. I didn't complain about it... I just tried my best.

I love art, and appreciate everyone who has contributed to this contest. Thank you all so much. And by the way... photoshop is typically used for photo editing. Most logos are created in Illustrator, Freehand, or CorelDraw as vector based artwork. The raster images that photoshop creates are not scalable.

Good luck! And a huge thanks goes out to everyone... those with stars and those eliminated. Thanks again!

I am a big fan of Kinsey's work(www.blkmrkt.com). i want my logo to be very strong as a 1 color logo, and awesome with color. the guys at Invisible Creature do some inspirational works as well. (invisiblecreature.com)

Good luck and thanks for participating.

Please make sure that the designs translate into a simple 1-color design as well. I want to make sure that I will not be required to have to print a 4 color design. It would be great to have a 1C, 2C Pantone, 3C Pantone, 4C Process, RGB and CMYK version. Vector graphic required.

Not futuristic or modern enough. Although, I do think the window and changing your view of the office tagline is clever. A little too playful. Thanks for the submission.
