Designers: Thank you for all your hard work in submissions as my vision has changed with seeing actual work.

Many of these are great, but none is 100% perfect although I am happy to use one of the top 10, if a design comes along before 05 OCTOBER that makes me go WOW! I will definitely consider it as a top choice.

Thanks again.

Designers: I've added a logo idea you can find inspiration in. Here is the direct link:

Please do not take the forms and colors too literally, but this is along the lines of what I am looking for.

Designers: I think the "Heart" is too literal and has strong associations with I <3 NYC. SO maybe something more stylistic rather than a literal heart

I attached two very "amateur" ideas to generate some creative thoughts. Thanks!

Designers: Lets try some alternate colors instead of "traditional" green. I've attached a color palette with some colors I consider "interesting"

Designers: In the first round, you don't have to obscure your basic design with lots of outline, gradients, shine effects, reflections, etc. Lets get a quick idea of outline and form, basic colors, and shapes, and look at refinement later. You can always add those layers later.

Designers: I would like to see some logos with JUST the words "Open Fit".

Simplify, simplify, simplify.

Example: Look at the logos attached, and logos such as: you tube, skype, digg

Comment on green + orange scheme. I want to be careful we don't look too much like the Miami Hurricanes colors:

Maybe the colors can be changed slightly to a more blue green or more red orange or yellow orange - or completely different colors.

I left submission #3 up as an example of what I DONT want. I find all the elements - lettering, line, cyclist, are difficult to see an WAAAY too detailed for a website logo. Think about how this looks when 100x100 pixels, you would not see any detail.

Submission #3-#6: Too thin, wimpy, too much whitespace. Also, why did you submit the same logo 4 times?

Submission #2: I like this icon form better, but maybe just flip the "arms" and "legs" 180 degrees, like in submission #1, and shorten the text

Submission #1: I like the running man guy, but not the shiny "badge" look. Also I see a upside down Nike swoosh which is too close to Nike

Logo notes: I want to try stay away from the traditional "running man" icon. Some ideas would be things which show vigor, stamina, cardio (such as heart), also cycling and running are good ideas (our main target audience). The idea is you want to convey something that will get out and make people MOVE.

About our name:
The logo doesn't have to include all "Open Fitness API". It could be a variation of:
* Open Fitness API
* Open Fitness
* The Open Fitness API
* Open Fit

The last one is what most people will refer to it as "Open Fit"
