I think you should put a naked chick in your logo.

yess.

We need to get invited at the inaugural, we will need LOTS and LOTS of CANADIAN beer.



How crappy is THAT for a logo?

ok ReinMan

i'll tell you my opinion about the 7 logos:

1- the firet logo is like pacman not like an eye & fonts are just weak
2-the light blue version is better but the eye can be better
3-is my favorite , except the fonts are not matching , but it's the best logo
4- the 4th logo is just a font , i don't like the simplicity of it
5-that's really the worst , the triangle is bad
6-the words placement is good , but not good enough overall
7- seems like a logo of a farm , just away from the concept

so i'll pick number 3

hope i've been helpfull

go with a 9B configuration, but make the eye part more like a realistic eye... or at least the characteristics of one. something that looks back at you.

If your niche is nostalgic gamers, you should consider this one.

One doesn't jump out at me. But if I had to choose, I'd go with #3 for font & style.. but in the darker blue. Very close to #8... but I agree with Fem's comments.

I do not like #12... looks either like an ANGRY eye.. or an owl.

Psychologically, an oval is more comforting & less threatening then an angular boxy look. Plus, it denotes the eye feeling.

This is something you need to live with for a while... I'd keep looking or just use name as "working logo" for now.

here's my take on it.

That's pretty nice there Mr. Sam Spade

ReinMan, I made one for you, I just changed the name some...

If you ever use it, I can make a special price for you...

good luck

OOooh! I like Rob's! Not only does it look like an eye.. but also a camera lens!
Nicely done!

a vectorized shot of your naked chest would do fine as well, Reinie!

9b. reason: if you scroll through the lot quickly, this one sticks out (positively) and has a pleasant 'mental image afterglow'.
i also think this one is the most balanced. the logo is made up of 3 parts: the name "brilliant eye", the description "photo etc" and the image. 9b is the only one which integrates these 3 parts to a whole: it's clear that the image reflects the name, and the image contains the description in a subtle manner, which is in line with the hierarchy of importance of the 3 elements (description is least important for the eye-grabbing properties and memorability of a logo).

Another quikie, just to give you another ideas.
