      This is what I was going to suggest :) But try removing the gradient from the shape and make ot the darker color of the ocean gradient. Would make so much sense.

    the fish

    Posted on Feb 06, 2010 at 9:15 AM

    nice concept you have here!

    i think the front of the fish is a little too strong, you should try to make the loop have the same width as the middle part of the fish.

    and from what i see the letter-spacing should be adjusted a little, because it seems unbalanced to me.

    Very nice and clean design. There is really nothing to add or change here.

    Good colors and good contrast at the same time - will look very well in B&W printing too.

    The curves on the fish thing

    Posted on Feb 08, 2010 at 8:21 PM

    Just fix up the curves on the fish, they look a little wonky. Also the 'n' on ocean and the 's' on strong seem to be drawing my attention. Defiantly something going on there. Overall it is a really nice logo.

    Top notch!

    Where is the STRONG?

    Posted on Feb 08, 2010 at 11:14 PM

    the design looks so elegant yet there is no illustration to depict the word STRONG. Get my drift?

    I like the colors and the simplicity of the design

    I agree with others about your font spacing. While I understand it's an abstract image, I didn't see the fish until it was pointed out. It looked more like a wave. I'd try to determine which you are trying to show more and adjust accordingly.

    kerning

    Posted on Feb 09, 2010 at 9:02 AM

    I think it looks great; I love the fish. The font you used looks good, I would try adjusting the kerning a bit so the letters are a little more spaced out. It may not work, but it's something I would at least try.

    Loose the eye

    Posted on Feb 10, 2010 at 1:33 PM

    I think you are could get two ideas across with one image here. Get rid of the eye and then it kind of looks like a wave and a fish. I would try to make it error on the side of the wave rather than fish. I like where you are going with this but just keep tweaking the imagery a little bit.

    the icon made me think it was Christian symbol that was used during roman times to communicate. If you still want to use the wave loose the eye.

    Nice Fish :)

    Posted on Feb 08, 2010 at 2:50 AM

    Really a nice and strong Logo. Really not much to suggest. Good Work.

    May be if you add a slogan that stretches from 'o' to 'n' i.e. ends just below the tail of 'g'.

    That may add to the balance of the logo further.

    Overall really nice work.

    the fish position

    Posted on Feb 11, 2010 at 2:40 AM

    Nice and fresh idea but I think if you reposition fish to the ocean O or make the O to fish head, it might break the evenness of the design. Just try this but overall GOOD one

    gradient placement

    Posted on Feb 12, 2010 at 2:58 AM

    You should try putting the gradient on the "ocean" and removing it from the shape. It would fall nicely into place.

    Give the Fish a Fin

    Posted on Feb 15, 2010 at 1:15 PM

    My only issue is that the logo is a little to abstract. I'd like to see it look a little more like something. Right now it's a bit too much like a ghost.

    I like the reverse gradient on the logo vs the words. Good work on the word strong being the darker color and a bold text. I really like the direction.

    Fish Eye

    Posted on Feb 24, 2010 at 10:50 AM

    I really enjoy this concept. The fish is brilliantly simple. If i could change one thing, it would be the gradient in the fish's eye. I find it distracting and would just keep it the darker blue. Also, have you tried a soft gradient on the text as well? Letter spacing is a little strange, too. All in all, it's pretty nice, and is well on it's way to become a great logo.

    Good work.

      Very elegant, but I have to admit, I don't see the "strong" part being represented by what looks to me to be a small fish - based on the geometry of its head (like a minnow or something like that). It is also "swimming upstream" in that we are reading left to right, but the fish is heading the reverse direction. If it were me, I would focus on something stronger as far as imagery, and am tempted to say crashing surf, though i realize that is such an obvious solution and perhaps predictable and boring. I like the fish shape, but it doesn't say "strong" to me at all.

    Letter Spacing

    Posted on Apr 22, 2010 at 9:26 AM

    Nice concept, I agree with the previous posts regarding the letter spacing. It seems like it could use a bit more air between the individual characters, they look as though they'll run together when reduced in size.

    Very Nice!

    Posted on Feb 10, 2010 at 1:58 PM

    I would add just a bit of extra letter-spacing in there, but not too much.

    I like the idea of the fish having some "looking room", but I would have it face the other direction, to guide the users eyes towards the right, where the content is.
