The first one reminds me of the wings one you did a while ago (for a caravan company was it? I can't remember). The orange "tail" also looks like FF; hehe, I see someone else saw that too. The green one looks like a basketball. What about something a little more square? Square says technology to me, probably because of circuit boards. I like your type and your colors, though. That lime green is not something you see in logos every day.
Can I be "mean"? You know I'm not trying to be mean, but I feel like I'm saying bad things about all of these logos you've presented. You are obviously a talented logo designer; your designs are constantly picked for those contests. But what I'm seeing is that many of the symbols you design are quite complex. That goes against my personal opinion about what makes a good logo: it has to be simple, memorable, scalable (especially down small) and describable. I know gradients and transparency are a trend right now, but I really don't think they work for logos. I do see that you include a single color logo below the really detailed one. I almost prefer those; though the colorful, detailed symbols are quite eye catching.
What do you think, Toon? What is your philosophy regarding logo design and what makes an outstanding logo?
