We are very, very impressed and pleased with all of your designs. Our only regret is that there are so many great ones now that we will have to choose just one winner and maybe 2nd/3rd.

Please keep them coming... And please forgive us if we ultimately are not able to choose your design no matter how great we believe it is.

Thanks you so much!

For those that have offered a design with a gear in the logo, I'd be interested to see a variation of that design with a fan or pump impeller instead of a gear. Although gears are part of the equipment we use, we do more stuff with fans and pumps that use impellers instead of just gears.

Very possible that won't look good so just a thought.

Also, I'm not necessarily directing everyone to offer a design with a gear or impeller as that's not necessarily center focus for what we're looking for but I am open to seeing variations of the gear replaced with the impeller. Just search images for HVAC fans and impellers or blade axial fan or impeller or try water pump impellers.

We've eliminated a few more designs based on being too similar to our current logo, possibly too freestyle, references to residential (roof peak, chimney, etc.). We don't do residential design, so any reference to a house, roof, chimney, etc. is not in our market.

Also, please understand that we have not ranked any design at this time yet as we don't have an exact direction in mind currently or when we started. We're just trying to avoid locking in #1, #2, #3 at this time to avoid steering more designers to those designs. We still prefer to give you all an open canvas with a little direction from our listing and use your interpretations and creativity to come up with some amazing ideas. This is why we are only currently noting items as having elements we like and not anything specific beyond that.

We will say that we want to keep away from too much color as we've seen in a few. We will use these on website, etc. but will need to be able to present well in black and white too. We do welcome the color in the design however.

Also, it's not 100% but there is a good possibility we may choose more than 1 designer (1st and 2nd) or (1st - 3rd), so please don't be discouraged if you see others ranked higher at some point.

Thank you all for the hard work.

Number 20 eliminated because it's not the industry I am in. shows an oil drilling rig but that is not in the line of anything I do. Thanks.

For number nine, I am not a huge fan of red in our logo. The Grays Blues some green and minimal possible orange accent. I like the symbol a little bit but the droplet in red makes it look a little like a blood bank or something similar

I like the direction of number 8 and it has some cool Concepts. Looks good on the black background but most of my logos will be put on white paper when they're in the title block for construction drawings or on a letter for a memo so not sure how well the "S" or the rest of logo will pop on white

#14 - #19 I like The symbol a little but maybe a little too symmetric or square. Also, not a big fan of font style

For number 10, symbols such as a wrench and electrical cord and such is more along the lines of what I would see for an electrical contractor or other mechanics or something similar . I want to steer away from a logo that leans more on the contractor side and reflect more than I am a designer or problem solver

For number 13, Compass gets used in a lot of architectural logos and is used a little too much so prefer not to go that route

#2 and #3 were too similar to my current logo that I'm trying to get away

I would like to steer away from cliche' images such as a house or building in the background. We don't do anything with residential housing or houses. Also nothing too cliche' like just a light bulb or dripping faucet in the logo either as these are more for the contractor side of things verses the engineering design as we do.

Lastly, there may be some place for it in the design but a lot of logos for architects and engineers in our industry tend to make the logo look like it was hand drafted with layout/construction lines behind the letters. I'm open to seeing that minimally in the design but in most cases would steer away from that as well.

Welcome and Thank You for Choosing LogoContest.com!

Here are some helpful hints to make sure you get the most out of our site, and your contest.

DO NOT FINALIZE YOUR CONTEST UNTIL ALL REVISIONS ARE MADE AND THE EXACT DESIGN YOU WANT IS SHOWING AND RANKED #1.

1. Please rank your submissions or post general comments a minimum of 1 time per day while your contest is running. This is required should you want to request an extension to your contest and will produce the best results from our designers.

2. Once your contest receives 40 design concepts, your prize amount will become "Guaranteed".

3. Please make the most out of our messaging and comment systems.

a) Place general comments on this main contest page to give all of the designers your preferences and what you would like to see or not see.

b) Clicking on any designers submssion will bring up a page of all submissions by that designer with an option to post private comments pertaining only to his work. (Only the contest Holder and that designer can view and post to this page)

c) Clicking on the designer username under a submission will allow you to send a completely private message to that specific designer.

4. Please "Eliminate" only those logo designs that you feel have no chance of winning your contest. (Be aware that eliminating everything may discourage participation from the designers.)

5. Please rank the designs 1 to 10 and there are also options to rank Elements you like, Colors you like, and Fonts you like. This will help guide the designers toward the design that you are looking for. For the best variety of designs, try not to keep the same design ranked #1 for an extended time as this may result in copying of that design.

6. We require that you do not ask one Designer to use elements or concepts from another Designer. The general rule is that, if a Designer was the first to use and submit the idea in one of their designs, they essentially own that concept or idea for the remainder of the contest. We will remove any deisgns that use copied concepts. Requests or ideas you have put in your Contest Brief or posted as contest attachments are fair game and open to everyone. Concepts that are considered obvious will also be fair game, for example: a dog & cat for a pet hospital, shopping bag for an e-commerce company, a tooth for a dentist, initials for a lawyer, etc.

7. Once your contest ends and is in judging mode, any designer that is ranked #1 #2 #3 #4 or #5 will be able to upload any revisions you request. Simply rank a designers entry to allow revisions to be uploaded.

Discussion Guidelines:

1. Designers and Contest Holders please always be respectful of each other, we all have the same goal.

2. Please do not criticize any design publicly, these discussions should only be held in private.

3. Designers may not post any external links to any designs.

4. Please do not ask a contest holder to view your designs or discuss any other designs.

5. Designers can not discuss copied designs on the contest pages and may submit a Logo Dispute to the Admin only.

Our team at LogoContest.com as well as our designers will make sure you are 100% satisfied and want you to leave here with a design that you love!

Please recommend us to your friends and business associates for all of their logo design and web page design needs.
