#4 – Published under the shield it shows strength, security and colours are timeless!

I like the first and the second ones. The second feels more “artistic”. I think it will look good on a t-shirt.

I like #1 best, followed closely by #3 and #5, but I really don’t find any really points to criticize there.
#2 seems hardly readable, #4 looks more like a race car team than a creative collective to me.

Having not read any of the other comments, I would like to start off by saying that blue is definitely what was missing from all of the red/black color palettes from the last round. It is a perfect complement to the dino head.

With that said, here’s my more specific critique:

1) This seems like a very Mozilla-y logo. It kinda jives with the current Mozilla.com design… or maybe Apple’s MobileMe cloud. I’m not sure. But it looks nice. One thing I’d like to mention is that the tan-colored outline (1B) looks better, but I don’t think the layout should be dragging around a black box everywhere it goes, so the light-background one (1A) could be a valid alternative.

2) I like this one, especially 2A, because of the blue. 2C and 2D are dancing around another perfect complementary color. However, I personally don’t like the hand-drawn-ness of the type, nor the fact that the two L’s are on top of each other.

3) These are also very nice. I like 3C and 3B. 3D is way too red and black. 3A is kinda dull, color-wise. I don’t think the dino head is big enough, in proportion to the size of this logo, though.

4) These shields are much better than those of the first round, but I can’t figure out which one I like the best. I think I’m leaning towards 4D. 4A is probably my least favorite. But it’s tough to decide.

5) I don’t know about these. For 5A and 5C, the color is definitely wrong. (I’m seeing it as orange; if it’s supposed to be the same color as the dino head, then it’s even worse.) I think the blue in 5B and 5D is much better. However, I don’t think having an octagonal shape (associated with a stop sign, after all), as in 5A and 5B, is a good idea. A similar association is present in 5C and 5C, but it’s more diluted. Overall, though, the flourishes do not add as much as they detract.

I feel like these comments are less helpful than those I offered in the first round, but that may be because I’m much less negative in them. But anyway… the more I look at 1A and 1B, the more I see the MCC logo going in that direction. (Not that I’m necessarily making that suggestion.)

Wow, these are such an improvement.

My pick: #1. I just love it.

I have to agree with Asa on #4, it’s gorgeous, but it would match some other Mozilla group better.

I like the versatility of #5 and #3.

The style from #2 could work, though I’d go with the star instead of the two smaller heads.
