sorry everyone i've been crawling and scraping to get some personal work completed.
I haven't read all the comments, and i haven't seen the comments for other top logos. So I will have a better idea once that is done. But for what I saw last week, this is what I will be submitting: - Single logo, the thinner font one. - Adjusting the TM to not be prominent. - Adjusting the character spacing slightly better. I liked the spacing in roboto most but I think I'm drawn to technical looking fonts. I will try to have this done by 1pm EST time monday (over my lunch hour).
