He designers, thanks for all your work. There are lots great ideas here. The messages below are for particular users and designs. Feel free to submit variations or new designs if I have not mentioned your submission.

Plum74
The icon is great but the font gets lost against it. Try some play on the IMorEX or imORex etc.

xpressions
Message 7 is great! Maybe try to make the arrows more solid, or pronoounced. Message 8 is nice. It could definitely evolve however perhaps towards something more like Message 11 by freetime. On Message 12, the icon is cool. Maybe a few small variations there to let out some creativity, or final touches like bevels or reflections, highlights or anything else. The colors could be reconsidered.

RelevantStudio
I like the icon. Maybe a few small variations there to let out some creativity, or final touches like bevels or reflections, highlights or anything else. Maybe rethink another font or two.

Freetime
The arrow icon looks interesting. I am not fond of the colors. Try to use the hex value I suggested in the Project Details. The font is also not not quite there, especially the m.

Giant
The Icon has promise. The fonts need some work and try some color, perhaps the Midnight Blue color I suggested in the project details.

Pracus's
I like the icon. Can you try a couple variations in color, orientation, stroke size etc.

Logoholik.

The icon and font look good on version 6. Maybe you could add some finishing touches like bevels or reflections, highlights or anything else. Version 2 is interesting. Try putting an arrow on the bottom left stroke of the X in opposite direction.

Thanks again everyone for your submissions. We are down to three designs.

Designers of the following designs, please submit the small, final revisions before we choose a design.

1. Message #7
Designer: xpressions


Please make the circle arrow icon a lighter shade of blue than what is used in for the other letters. Also, make the R the same shade. Please alter the arrow heads to be slightly more pronounced.

2. Message #28
Designer: Logoholik


Please remove the two-toned effect from the logo. Make the "X" the same color as the top shade of blue in the two-toned letters "IMORE".

3. Message #29
Designer: Logoholik

Please remove the dot in the middle of the icon. Put a 3D effect on the icon to show depth, maybe a little like Message #7 from expressions. Make the "R" the same color as the "O" icon.

Thanks,

I look forward to the final revision and selecting the final logo by the end of this week.
