Thanks Ray! It was a fun one to work on, espeially seeing the positive/negative space working out so well to create the leaf/person image.

Nice use of color. It\'s a shame the product never launched.

very nice logo. I think \"hr\" might be a bit too bold. I think it takes away from the great mark. You probably didn\'t name it, but I\'m getting tired of everything being \"something-pod\" or \"pod-something\".

KGB, yeah, I agree on the pod name. This mark is from early 2005 and it wasn\'t my choice on the name. :-)

As for heavier HR, you might have a point. I played with various weights there, but in the end felt the bolder emphasized HR a little better, since that was the emphasiz point of the mark.

sternz, thanks for the kind words! :-)

My only complaint...it\'s a little similar to Duke Construction\'s logo.

Ocularink, thanks for the note. Never heard of Duke Construction until tonight.

I\'d say the two marks have only a faint resemblance when compared — both use 3 leaves.

Colors are different, the hrpod mark forms a person with the 3rd top leaf having a head reversing out of it and the Duke logo doesn\'t. The fonts are also quite different (sans serif vs. serif).

Thanks for the comment!

Great logo, 4 stars. The mark is great. My crit is the huge HR as well. There is just such a difference between the HR and the POD that it feels disjointed. The mark is gorgeous, but the typeface detracts from it.

thanks biohaz. I think I\'m going to play with a less bold version and see how that compares. When it\'s up here I\'ll link to it so you guys can have a look.
