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

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

I vote for number 3.

Thank you sir!

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.

2 or 3

Number 3 cool and simple

Number 3

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:

#3 Simple plain and to the point! I could go with number 2, but not with out choosing number 3 first

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.

number 3. i almost picked number one but the cords in the ''e'' is confusing on the eyes.

I believe 3 has won it!

#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.

Alright, from the input I received from here, here are the second round of revisions.... Which one do ya'll like now?

B diffidently. Here is why:

A: To me, the way that the cords are made into the recycle logo looks clustered to me. It also looks just like a triangle rather than a recycle triangle.

B: It's clean, and easy to read. I like this one the best.

C: To me, the font and the green back shadow makes it kinda hard to read, and the recycle logo looks cluttered. If it was a solid color rather than a blue and green candy cane, I think it would look better IMO.

I still think that logo #3 was the best one so far except I would change the rotation of the arrows to clockwise instead of counter clockwise. The only time you would really have to worry about the gradients is when you embroider-so what? That's a sharp looking logo.

As to your current batch, I would choose B.

Good luck to you.

B this time.

Take the symbol from b, reverse the colors and put it with a...keep the green above the blue...everyone equates green with recycling that should be the prominent color on top. Green = earth, Blue = water

Alright. Here is the very last revision. First or second????

http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/...ps712fd958.jpg

A is the one I would use.

I'm going to say A also.

A as well. Excellent.

#3 hehe it has them all beat

I would pick A because the name Electrowaste stands out better.

Electrowaste in blue with recycling in green is what I would do, but I agree with Mechanic-#3 is still the best.

I certainly do not like C. The colors are too busy and will look blurry I believe when used in certain applications. I also do not like the sharp triangle in C. The triangle in A and B look far more like the traditional recycling symbol. In terms of color, since recycling is GREEN, I would pick the colors of B. I also think the cords are easier to distinguish in B. My vote is B.

Well guys here is the finalized revision. Thanks for all of your help, the input was invaluable, had I not had it I am certain I would've had to go back later and pay for a revision. If you end up using this company let me know because they gave me some discount codes.

Congratulations on finally choosing the logo right for you! I think this was definitely the best! The right color scheme and not to flashy!
