    "Connex"

    Posted on Oct 28, 2009 at 12:35 PM

    "Conx" first read "conks"; second time around read "Con-X", which made me think "Ex-Con". The extra 'n' in "Connx" was a bit better, but still was confusing for me to read. When I read the third, I finally understood what it was supposed to say.

      Thank you for the feedback. I've added a fourth option that spells out Connects. Do you feel that this reads better?

      Yes, the new concept you posted reads much better and has a stronger layout than before. As someone else said, the replacement of "x" is rather overdone anyway.

    Third option looks best to me...

    Posted on Oct 28, 2009 at 1:20 PM

    I really like the colors and typography of your first three options. The icon does feel a little disconnected from the text, but in my mind you could completely do away with the icon and have a good looking logo.

    I couldn't tell right away what ConX or ConnX meant, once I got to ConneX, then I understood.

    The fourth option would work as well, but I think you should use the same type of, well, type as the first three.

    I think I like the third option the best overall, and am basing my score on that design.

    I like most the last one with "PatientConnects", my English is too lousy to comment the name.

    don't use Conx

    Posted on Oct 28, 2009 at 8:15 PM

    I agree with most of what other fellows have said so far. It looks really professional. The typeface, colours, and shape give a strong impression. However, drop the idea of Conx. As Ann Edwards, Conx sounds may cause some weird interpretations, which neither you nor your client client want happening. So, drop the Conx concept, and line up the text and logo.

    good work.

    I would just have the word connects

    Posted on Oct 30, 2009 at 7:52 AM

    I love the typeface and I think the letter spacing works well, although im also not keen on the use of ConnX with an X. it reminds me of a different logo iv seen for a training and job seekers company

    Great logo

    Posted on Nov 02, 2009 at 1:03 AM

    I like the last logo. I don't believe conx will be easily interpreted as connects and "Connex" is over used IMO.

    Looks great

    Posted on Oct 28, 2009 at 10:39 AM

    Very professional logo, the type looks great, colors are nice aswell. The symbol also looks good, it could be closer to the text though (or should I see them as different concepts?).

    I think that even if you take the symbol away the type has enough personality to be a brand.

    I don't know about the 'Conx'/'Connex' because I speak a different language and I'm not sure if 'conx' can be easily interpreted as connects.

    Congrats

    Really well done, like the colors and the PC. I would play around with some different formatting options (stacking/vertical/horizontal). The PC and the word look too far apart. Try stacking vertically and see where that takes you. The 3rd concept is the strongest. Great work on this so far!

    move the icon closer

    Posted on Oct 28, 2009 at 11:35 AM

    It is more of a chore to read "Conx" I did get it, but I had to do a double take. The third one is better.

    I think it is an optical illusion (or either I have been looking at a computer screen too long) but the descender of the p seems slightly angled outward. I know its not, but my eye thinks it is.

    Also, seems to me that the pc icon doesn't match the style of the text.

    Great job overall.

      PS - The optical illusion I am experiencing is with the icon, not the typography. I really like it though. good job.
