		<description>I would have to go with #1. The blue stands out better for &#039;bingo&#039;. The 3rd one fits into the whole web 2.0 look, with the &#039;puffy&#039; look to it.</description>

		<description>I like the third one the best, the first two use a futuristic font that doen&#039;t fit well with the theme I think.  The font of the third is kinda playful.

However in nr 3, the font is too small compared to the graphic blob whereas in the first two, the text is much more pronounced.

Perhaps the font of nr3 with the design of nr 2?</description>

		<description>I really like the 1st one by far the best. I hate the last one. Neutral on the second one.

I couldn&#039;t figure out what the blue blob was on the last one (looks kinda like a football?). It&#039;s also way too cartoon like..

I know the teachers you sell to are involved with young children so it&#039;s OK to have a fun vibrant logo but they are not children themselves. They are degreed professionals who take their jobs very seriously, so you also want it to look somewhat professional. I think the 1st one and to a lesser degree the 2nd one are a nice blend of a professional look and a fun vibrant look meshed together. While all 3 match your sites new colors, #3 also matches your sites new &quot;feel&quot; very well.

Personnally I would look no further then #1 and I think you would be safe in using it with no further time spent. :)</description>

		<description>hey patrick

I have been following you on BOS. I looked at them and i like the colors and the general look of the designs. #3 is however more pleasing.

Maybe you could consider just using a image that says Bingo at the top and card creator is spelled out in the boxes below it?

Would be simple and to the point??</description>

		<description>I have to go with #1.  It&#039;s the most pleasing to my eyes.  The Web 2.0 style for the bingo card makes me feel engaged in a game.  Makes me think of fun things.

The green color for &quot;Bingo&quot; in #2 makes me want to gouge my eyes out. I can&#039;t stand to look at it for very long before my eyes scream. The blue squares floating away from the bingo card confuses me.  Is their some type of transmission occurring here?

I feel like the blue blob behind the bingo card in #3 is actually a &quot;black&quot; hole that is unable to contain the color blue.  It is sucking the card and my attention down with it.  The white bubbly font comes off as weak. I feel bloated looking at that font.  I don&#039;t know where to move my eyes when looking at #3. I get lost and stuck in the &quot;blue hole&quot;.</description>

		<description>Finally you change your logo. I think it was pretty amateurish... no offense of course! The logo was your site&#039;s &quot;weakest link&quot; IMHO.

The first one is more dynamic, while the third one is more &quot;funky&quot;. I guess you could eliminate number 2.

I particularly like the used font (HemiHead426), since I used it myself on my Image.InfoCards site!

But as Andy said above, check if these logos are well accepted by your target market... My opinion is that design is now a fact of life, and the average person is now constantly exposed to heavily-designed elements on his/her daily life...</description>

		<description>I like the left part of the first one. I don&#039;t really like the font on any of them, though. Looks like an old sci-fi movie logo.</description>

		<description>Erk, none of them are good: they are hard to read, garish, don&#039;t scale well, and most importantly do not in any way reflect the style of your target audience.</description>

		<description>for me, a mix of #1 and  33 would do the trick. The &quot;3D&quot; card from #1 with the more funnier and personal letter style of #3, as futuristic style typeset doesn&#039;t seem to match with your product, IMHO.</description>
