Hi egtrix,

I am interested in seeing the results of this survey. That being said, I also think that a poll of this nature might mask what is important. As you know, a powerful logo will stand it's ground in black & white, 3D or animated form. There are many different mediums that will require flexibility. When we package a logo design it includes a b&w, color and 3D web version. The file formats we provide allow for virtually any application. A preference for one versus another puts unecessary limitations on your design - and your brand image.

I think the following line comes dangerously close to saying 'trend'

We should certainly be aware of the trends, but a sustainable brand image requires a simple, intelligent logo that will look great in any era. Using the lastest design trends (i.e. swoosh, globe, the oval sliver) may give you a 'cool' logo, but 5 years down the road, when the visual market is flooded with those shapes your image will drown.

Take Care,

Grease

Hello grease,
Thank you for your post. You are probably right about all what you mentioned, the point here in that poll is that I face a lot of customers who already know how they want their logo to look like, some of them like really complicated shapes and lot of colors, we cann't convince them with the good trending because if I did so, they think that I'm searching for an easier way to do the design. No matter what ideas or concepts I give for them, they are just stuck to what is in their minds.
Of course a logo design package must have a B&W version, but I'm trying to see what design is more memorized for people. For an example, the IBM logo has more than a version and the original one is colored in blue, but for me the B&w is much more memorised when I think about IBM.
Anyway, it is a chance for me to tell you that I like your website and your designs. Also your logo design is so attractive and original and I really admire your work and effort.
Best Regards
