We are currently completing the ongoing project of our online hosted shopping cart system GetCarted.

We need a new look web2 kind of style logo which depicts a quality reliable service, easy to use and quick to implement.

You can have a look at the existing website at http://www.getcarted.com but this website again is going to be all re-designed soon.

The logo will normally be used on a white background but may be occassionally used on a coloured one. So we will need a variant with a white outline.

Please read brief below.

At present my favourites on this are the 2 logoholik ones. I prefer the version 2 but feel it might be a bit too much web2 - Any slight variations would be welcome...

Many thanks

Jamie...
