New logo design -- input needed

Or maybe something lite this:

No... that is way too abrasive. We're going for something understated and refined.

As for the mickey mouse gloves, he's actually supposed to be wearing metal arm bands (as Greek gods are want to do). Friggin media culture.

Yikes! I just looked at it on my monitor at the office. Yeah, it hurts the eyes. I didn't mean it to be a submission by any means; I only spent about 30 seconds using a few filters on it . I was trying to see if you could soften and tone the detail down on it.


It's just that I have such a hard time admitting that I'm leaning towards the left. :whistling:

The logo in place, on a textured paper background:

I vote for the left
When I received one in your package Andrew I was blown away by how it looked mate. Very classy I thought.

The one on the left for me as well, wondering how the one on the right would translate when it's used smaller, like on a letterhead, etc.

 

[JayDee]

The one on the left has a more classical look, which appeals to me.

Doc.

agreed, it has more of a "professional" look than the right one.

 

[jfields]

Definitely left. Looks friendlier and, the one on the right looks too busy. It's hard on the eyes.

Snapz is a great application, trying to get my company to purchase it.

Brother MOKI,
Asthetically the one on the left is easier on the eye. However, I was looking for context in your overall company marketing and found it interresting you list a job title as "el presidente" suggesting a relaxed, informal, edgier approach to organizational management, the opposite of traditional, classic images. Ambrosia, if I remember is the food of the Gods, and having been in the Food & Beverage Industry for eons, RED is the color to increase appetite and conote fine dining. Are these valid observations regarding the company culture and positioning? If so the logo on the right is the better of the two. May I suggest you take a look at the Black logo variation by Michal as it is simplified and modernized; a variation on his in a red, including a hint of the thunder & lightning, and a redo of the hand (think strength or iron glove), may do the trick. Let me know where this leads you and if you have any questions (here or in a PM); I'd be happy to answer as I spent many years in the business consulting industry.

Here's the final logo we went with:

...and here it is "embossed" on textured paper:

It matches the theme of our old business cards well... now to redo those with the new graphic.
