Dany, I uploaded the designs I as tinkering around with. Take a look at the bottom logo in the second column: http://cesaric.com/apache/flex/Flex_Logo_Designs.png. I think that's the variation you mentioned. I didn't want to carpet bomb the contest with different versions so I forced myself to choose one. I'm torn but if anyone else agrees on that variation, I'll be happy to change my submission.
I think a lot of us saw the implementation of using the capital 'F' & 'E" of FLEX as a way of blending the lettering and design together. I wasn't opposed to a lowercase 'flex' but similar to Doug McCune's remark, I couldn't make it work in an enterprise way either. Not that it can't be, I'm just not that good ;-) Thanks for the input!! -Rob On Jan 16, 2012, at 1:48 PM, Dany Dhondt wrote: > I like this one very much!
