How would you describe the effect in your logo:(Check all that apply)

Modern

What colors would you like?

No color preference (basic colors), although I'd say darker rather than too bright of a "look".

How many colors do you want in your design?

not sure

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

I think I like several concepts (any of which may be combined). I'm no graphic designer, so please feel free to break free or deviate from my ideas below.
- the logo could be focused on the letter i.
- the letter i may represent the "source" or focal point of an idea
- the letter may be encompassed in a circle, or partial circle, or anything "bright", like a spark, a light bulb ("idea"). Note that I couldn't really come up with a good depiction of the circle around the "i" concept.
- I like the idea of something abstract, that can be detached from the actual company name (like the Toyota logo)
- I will be creating stationery and business cards, and maybe affix the graphics alone or graphics plus text (full company name) to advertising material.
- Innovate Business Tech may be used, of course, to complement the graphic, but if part of the graphic, I'd prefer to have the "innovate" part detacheable from the rest so that I can include it as a motto on a mouse pad for example (or a business signature).
- So, an abstract depiction of the word "innovate" can be used as an alternative to the "i" centered logo. If only presented with these 2 options, I'd lean 60% towards "innovate".

Thank you all for all of your hard work... I'm amazed on how many excellent submissions we've received, which will make our decision very difficult. I'm going to conduct a basic poll and will get back to you shortly. Again, thank you all very much.

Another thought (almost a requirement), after debating amongst projects 50 - 53, 24, and newer entries 49 and 48 (also a very nice design): - the logo should be able to show well in a black and white version as well. The closest that comes to mind is the Apple logo. In our scenario, maybe the borders can be accented or we could simply change the darker colors to black and keep the rest as white (or a few shades of gray). I can't picture it well right now, but I believe that all of the designs I've mentioned above qualify for this new requirement. Thanks!

#49 - a great design, pretty "green", which may appeal to some...

#23 interesting, but too much contrast between the lines of text- business tech hardly visible.

#28 pretty good at low scale and / or by itself. A bit too bright though. Also it just seems to overpower "nnovate", but I may be wrong.

#24 it's really nice that I can discern it well even at a lower scale. I also like the font.

#12 - I had a hard time discerning the I... It may be good, but it all blends in too much.

#1 - The lettering is modern and likeable, but the "O" is too cutesy. The idea is not bad though. Same for #9 - I like the On/off switch on the letter "O" but not so much the "I", and I'd be concerned about adding too many defining elements (wouldn't they end up taking away from each other?).

#18 - a bit too much like a "healthcare" logo. #19 - seems a bit "top heavy", and I'm not sure that we're on the right track. Regardless, it appears that the color choice is now leaning towards less greens and blacks, and more blue and orange (red?). The notable exception is the green in #'s 2,3&4.

#16 - This looks very familiar. It's also a bit too complex, and a bit too large.

#14 - I like the design; still I appear to be more inclined towards a more stylized approach - this concept seems a bit too strict. - Color choice seems a bit too "dark"

Draft #10 - Logo is pretty catchy, but it seems a bit too complicated... What would it look like, I wonder, without the upper blue area, although I do like the "disintegrating" particles effect so that may be worth retaining. Lettering is good, color choice is also nice. - #9 logo is not bad of an idea - although somehow it falls behind. Don't know how to say it, maybe too much "information" (too many "I"s).

Draft #2, 3, 4 - I like the lettering, and the "square" logo - would that represent a computer monitor (I'm trying to understand the concept)? Color choice is sound, basic and adequate, but I'm not sure about how I can use the dark background - is that just to see what it'd look like in a different color scheme?

Draft #4 - what I like about this draft is that it is simple, modern, and relates to the idea of innovation. I'd like to see the business tech slightly larger and even with Innovate, also what would it look like to the side rather than on top (not that the layered look is no good), also another color choice (blue, orange).
