    @ pdjsolutions - I like the design style but I would like it to be bigger, have a black background and also remove the line at the top. Try to make it a straight line of text, not two lines.

    @ pdjsolutions - No abbreviations such as "BHCS" and no periods. You can try make "black hat" black with bigger font and complementing it with smaller "case studies" in white. Also make the words overall a little bigger.

    @ larrytheloafer - needs work. I like the professional web 2.0 style of pdjsolutions version.

    I would to see more entries on what others have to present.

    Wow. There are some really good entries here. Hard to find a standout logo.

    @ pdjsolutions - your getting closer and I'm still leaning towards you, try a different font? Try a different font for "case studies" and a different font for "black hat".

    @ HomeBlogger- needs work. looks too plain.

    @ Aphanius mento - needs more of a web 2.0 look

    @ Hazrd - I really like your entry but give it more of a web 2.0 look, try a different font too. Keep the beaker tho.

    @ mrEdesign - same as above good design but more web 2.0. look. Make it slightly bigger

    @ boxieblue - needs work, firstly its too big. too boxy.

    @ shandyisme - good logo, but make it less cartoony. Still looks like its missing something.

    @ dzt6781 - needs work. Same as much of the above, give it a more web 2.0 look.

    My favorites so far are from mrEdesign, pdjsolutions and shandyisme.

    @ Hazrd - still has a "plain" look.

    @ Panic! - Looks very good but needs more flair. Looks plain.

    @ dzt6781 - the best right now, but still missing something.
