    Help me pick my logo

    So as I start out, I wanted a professional logo to help present the professional image. I went with a company called LogoMojo out of Canada. I bought the package for 6 designs, and I get unlimited revisions until I am happy with the logo. We picked blue and green because that is me and my wife's favorite colors. Below are the 6 initial concepts that they presented to us. Please vote on which one you like the best. My last poll had like 151 views and 4 responses (I was one of them.)

    We'll call this #1




    #2






    #3



    #4




    #5



    #6




    Thanks for the help you've given me thus far!

    I voted for #1 and here's why:

    1. I like simpler graphics, that's just my preference.
    2. With simpler graphics (2 colors, less detail, etc) it is much easier to transfer to different media. It may look great on a computer, but how does it look on a window, flyers, t-shirts, etc? How does it look in black and white? Although I'm not a graphic designer, I never liked messing around with gradients on graphics. It never came out the way I liked it when printed.
    3. Two colored graphic would give you a basic color theme for your business, and an extra option that just one color.


    I also liked #6, but maybe change the arrows and the "o" to the green color.

    Thanks for your help guys! What we are considering now is a hybrid. We'd like to mix the words & stripes from #3 and the triangle logo from #4. We agree that...

    So I think were going to have the ends of the triangle design fixed and all colors be solid.

    In my opinion I like number 3 and 6 because they are simple and to the point. The first two at first glance i had to look twice to find the first "E" in Electrowaste. 4 and 5 are confusing with all those arrows and cord ends.

    I like #3, Not #4. I like how neat it looks without being complicated, the cord ends clutter it up.

    number 3 is the most easily readable and the rectangular format will be the most utilitarian as far as using it on letterhead, truck signage and such.

    I like #3, nice clean design and the symbol flows right into the name. The circling arrows seems to force you towards the name. # 1 and 2 looks like the name is "lectrocycle" the first letter gets lost. 4 and 5 the symbol draws away from the name because it is above it. It may work if the name was on top of the symbol. # 6 is not bad but I would have the cord dangling or in a serpentine shape below the name and the colors have to change, the blue makes me think of water not recycling.

    I'm going with #2. The recycle arrows are a little more subtle and non-traditional and it's not too busy, not too plain, but juuuussst right.
    Also, the "e" reminds me of the logo for a product I designed one time. Found a copy thru google images:

    I was told many years ago that any logo you chose should look great black on a white background. If it looks great that way, it'll look even better in the proper color scheme. I have followed this simple tip I over the years and we were always complemented on our logos/branding.
    Having said all that, I think #3 would be my choice.

    #6 but i would do it in green

    #3 is nice but from experience would be harder to read on a truck especially if it were dirty and it has a hint of yellow in it

    Wow guys. Three would've not been the on that I choose left to my own devices. Thanks for the help! I think we are using #3 now but the arrows aren't right. The won't work with embroidery. I wrote them an e-mail and asked for #3 (no color gradient) but a redesign of the arrows. I'll post their revision here and I welcome your criticism. I want to get it right before I finalize the design because after that it cost more $$$. I'm listening to what you'll say... No gradients, crisp and clear, looks good in black and white, etc.
