Suggestions and opinions please

yeah vast imporovement there, well done :)
i agree best on the black

get rid of glosses, bevel and emboss, ect ect ect. The key thing to remember with a logotype is SIZE!!!!! - it has to look good at incredibly small sizes like 10px for example, or on a sponsor website where the available space is only something like 100px.
Good work so far, but keep it simple.

well here is another concept..

this time more organic...and even simpler..

what do you guys think...

colors are hard to read.
i think it's the turquoise that makes it difficult.

you have created three elements within your logo/design and all are fighting each other for attention.

Needs re-tooling!

further updates....







I think I am there....just need to choose a font....I have a fav..but wanted your opinions too...

thanks for your comments guys...its nice to have contructive criticism rather than "its crap" or "dont like it".

i agree

here goes..yet another update..
this is a massive learning curve for me...also should be interesting for other budding designers to see the effort involved in logo's and the evolution of an idea....i love it..

I agree too, the second one is best on the eye although I do love the font of the first one - what is it by the way??

I also reckon the one you have just posted would work better as a logo then the others as it could be shrunk to a small size with still visible, and readable text...However I think the rich yellowy orange with the dark grey ere the best colours to use as I recon they could be real dramatic on a website...
