I'm creating a logo for my resource group at work. Which do you prefer?

I dont like this one.

I dont like the way the shadows look. (maybe the 5th one down looks ok, but still needs some work)

Any suggestions on how to make them look better?

ok let me have it...

i like the first one better. They're all good, I think.

I like the shadows of #5.It doesn't need to be better, just O.K. with cartoons.
But I prefer the big letters without gradients, like #2, in blue with blue signature. The reflexion of the signature is I think too dark, or can be good without it.

I like the people and lettering better in # 4, but 5 does have better shadows.

I've found this technique the most reliable when presenting ideas to a client:

Show them your favorite design
Show them the one they asked for

9 times out of 10 they'll go with whatever the designer thinks is best. (Those who don't are idiots.)

You're giving us too many choices...therefore you're not getting reliable info.

just my 2 cents

I liked #3, and I can see I wasn't the only one.

4 is best because the large letters are filled in, and they aren't gradient. I also like the colors. The font on "Hispanic Latino...etc" is a little funky, and might look better with clearer font? Dunno. 4 is my fav.

if you want it doing in flash, give me a shout, i could fit them all in
