Would love to get a few more. These are good but looking for something with a little more design to it. Would like to convey a little more sophistication or cleverness.

Lot's of good entries - thank you...

Some feedback:
Brunocalvin - I like your font choice in your V1 but not wild about the graphic. On V2, I really like the creativity of this and can you try making the 'x' a little shorter? Maybe 1/2 the height on the long leg and 2/3 the height of the short leg.

xpressions v1 is nice but since I do not have the apex2.com url, I want to avoid anything with the numeral 2 in it.

BlueCherryGraphics V1, nice creative graphic but dont' think color scheme will work with website.

I've mocked up some of these in a web page for context if you'd care to see them: http://agilentpartners.com/logo-mockups.htm

I believe I'm waiting for someone at Design Outpost to move this somewhere? Can one of the moderators clue me in on what happens next?

OK. I think this looks good to go. Couple things:
1. Can you give me the files in AI 10 and/or PS 7?
2. Can I get an .ico file of the graphic?
3. what was the link again for business cards?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, the package will include Illustrator CS plus v8 files as well as PSD (and numerous other formats). I will check on the .ico file.

Here's the link for the business card design:
