The logo should hopefully encapsulate simplicity in some form or other.

Although we are a technology company please avoid web 2.0 clichés if you can.

If you incorporate the company name into the logo, all lower case lettering is preferred.

    #97, #98, #99 Contrast on #98 and #99 is good. Dot on the i looks better too.

    #93, #95, #96 #96 is good. Although #95 is the same design the colours make me think of coca-cola. Thanks

    #92, #94 Whoa! Great designs. #94 is excellent. The combination of the bars next to the K and the arrow communicate incremental improvement which is what software development is all about. Great stuff.

    #90, #91 Nice colour variations. #91 is very firefoxy.

    #79, #80, #81, #82, #83, #84 Thanks for submitting these 6 designs. Please see my comments for drafts #73 to #76. Nice execution but not quite memorable enough for me.

    #73, #74, #75, #76 I can't fault you on composition. Your designs are all excellent in that respect. As I said before the graphics are not really memorable enough. I think the reason some of the higher rated designs work well is because the graphic communicates something else as well as being simple. For example: #19 is a sun through a window which gives off a positive vibe #40 features a tower which communicates strength #42 the stack of books communicates knowledge #60 the squares could be interpreted as thought bubbles Hope this helps

    #72 This is okay. Bottom right is the best because the company name is in lowercase. You'll probably get it in the neck from the site admin though as this should have been 4 separate uploads.

    #68 I Like the satanic undertones of the inverted 'i' but not sure it's right for us.

    #65, #66, #67, #71 Thanks for trying something a bit different with your 4 designs but they are too busy for us.

    #60, #61, #62 The tumbling square is a nice variation on #51. Nice colours. Thanks.

    #56, #57, #58, #59 Thanks for these 4 designs. The colour combos and fonts are good but the graphics are not memorable enough. Sorry.

    #47, #48, #49, #50 Thanks for uploading some different colour combinations. They're growing on me. I'd say #47 definitely works as well as #13.

    #52, #53, #55 Thanks for submitting. Unfortunately I've seen the dot swirls used in a lot of other logos. I'm not a huge fan of orange either.

    #43, #51 Thanks for submitting your designs. I quite like #51. The colour combo is good. The logo is okay but not sure if it's memorable enough.

    #44, #45, #46 Thanks for uploading some different colour combinations. They don't really work though. A sun has to be yellow and the sky must be blue otherwise it never looks quite right. You could try reducing the brightness of the blue and yellow in #19 and see what that looks like. I agree that #30 looks a bit like the logo from http://www.k-link.co.id/ Not sure if it's similar enough to be sued over. To be honest I think ultimatedesign should approach k-link as draft #30 is a lot neater than their logo.

    Okay folks. I've been through all of the designs submitted so far, rated them and eliminated the ones I least prefer. If you submit another design try not to use a stylised 'K'. I think drafts #4, #13 and #30 have cornered the market on that. :-) Also try some different colour combos. We've had a lot of Blue + Green (which is okay) and Blue + Orange (doesn't work for me). How about some darker shades. Perhaps: -Grey + Green -Grey + Red -Green + Brown -Red + Black Good luck to you all.

    #38, #39, #40, #41 Thank you for your efforts. #38 and #41 are a bit too corporate for me. #39 and #40 I like, especially #40 with the tower/temple graphic. The gold and black colour combo is good too.

    #35, #36 Hi Nikola. Thanks for submitting. Using the I and the T to form the graphic K (and then mirroring that in the company name) is an nice idea but I'm not overly concerned about emphasising that we are a technology company in the graphic. The company name does that well enough on it's own. Colour combo is okay but I'm not a huge fan of orange.

    #33, #34 Thanks for submitting. Good points: -Font is nice and clear. Bad points: -The graphic looks too much like a snail. -I don't really like Orange and Blue as a colour combo.
