Malik: I really like the way it looks, but the only problem is that it makes me feel like I'm on a website for investigating something serious, or like I'm doing my homework.
In design there are some elements symbolizing different things. And the checkmark works for Reviews, which is what your site's selling. I didn't stole anything, I just thought at that. @onlyfights: Sorry for that, but I didn't mean to offend you or copy your design. Also, thanks for standing up for me. @spikesolo Thanks! @CH I withdraw my entry. Maybe I'll come with another one later. Good luck with the contest!
Animman: It's okay. Onlyfights seems to be cool with it and that's mostly what matters in the end. Leaving everything else aside, your design was one of the better ones, but not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for your contribution!
Pixelahead: I like your style and I can tell you have been following this thread very closely for hints. Particularly I like the bottom one most. Maybe if the checkmark was sort of in the shape of a shopping cart that would really work well, don't you think?
Riswan: Good entry, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the light bulb... maybe the fact the customer has to think about what they're buying? But at any rate, what is the u shaped thingamombob on the lightbulb?
Riswan: Ok, slow moment. I think I see it now... it's a shopping bag with a bulb in it to represent info ... ok .. yeah, I'm just not really seeing the shopping bag that easily :S
Padurariu: The bottom-most logo is your best one yet, but the slogan is almost impossible to read. If you fix that, I will definitely compare it to the other leaders.
logoesdesign: I think that looks much better, but what do I know... My only suggestion is that the border order the "i" should match the thickness of the logo text. Otherwise, my eyes focus in on the square and I fall in a sort of trance... and I don't see anything else.
Padurariu: The slogan is still hard to read, mainly due to the contrast. Have you considered using the color of the text in the slogan that is presently on the website? It's slightly darker I think. Also, because you're using a small font, bold just makes it harder to read because all the letters merge into one big blob.
Riswan: Wow thanks for taking my suggestion. Huge improvement. My stupid brain immediately recognizes what it is. (Hey now, being stupid can pay off!) Looking at it in this light - ahem - excuse the pun - I can clearly see that the logo is a mismatch with the symbol. They just weren't meant to be together. You know that song, "One of these things doesn't belong..." I think you get the idea. The tint, the font, the warp... none of which matches the simplistic hand-drawn style of the shopping bag and light bulb. Personally, I think the the symbol is in a better status than the logo text, simply because it has better contrast (between the edges and the fill). And you got to have contrast. Contrast is like the key element to understanding a drawing or visual concept.
