Logo Design - Starting in B/W

[Rodi]

Number three (3) really stands out.

 

[slipperyfrog]

Really dig #3.

 

[Pixels Are Bad Mmmkay?]

I like 1 and 2 the most but I prefer the look of white on black in the first one.

#3

I also like #3. 1 and 2 remind me of clothing labels and converse all stars for some reason. They all look great, but I just have a preference for 3 over the others. The bottom "company" bar with the 2 dots also makes it feel much more 'sign-like' than 1 and 2.

Thanks all for the comments. I think I've decided to go with the circle to keep more of an icon/logo look.

Here's another using the suggestion of taking part of the 'N' to form the '!'. I liked the quirky original '!' but I'm sort of leaning toward this cleaner one now.

 

[Jillbeans]

Much better.
I like it sans circle for the attached reason only.

 

[Marlene]

still liking #3 but if you do go with a circle, #2. the font you used and how you used it for your name is great and stands out so much more without the circle but if it has to stay, #2 looks the best.

Spoon Graphics did a roundup of Retro Badge logos about this time last year, it's a great style. Here's the link for anyone who is interested in working with the style:

I liked it just a little better when the black logo had more contrast. I think you're making a great choice though.

 

[SD&F]

I'm sure your done voting, but I like #3. It looks more original.

 

[buckssigns]

Love them both but, I believe they would look even better if the two lines "Neato" and SIGNS" were moved upwards a little. They look just a wee bit bottom heavy to my eye.

Thanks, he just did another recently of winged logos, a current trend many of which are also operating in the retro badge style:
