Description: from the original brief:

The connection is that roaches survive anything and exist all over the world. This site will allow people in poorer countries and slums to have a voice on a global scale. It initially started as a documentary and evolved into an idea to help educate people to certain geopolitical climates and situations that they would not normally hear about. The goal is to shock but educate and eventually serve as a platform to discuss these issues and network with other similar groups who seek to help.

caught my eye but the shape (round) does not look much like a roach at all. perhaps you could have used more of the center shapes (oblong) and left outside globe round, to define the roach.

I completly agree with Mike. This logo definitely grabbed my attention, but I wish it was a little more recognizable as a roach. I like your choice of green. Not too shabby. Kevin

I see your point there and i guess that you are probably right to some point. I wanted to give just a hint of roach/crawling thingy and not to make it too obvious. Went for symbolic/abstract approach here...

I like the symbolic approach you've taken with mark I dont think it needs to be exactly obvious, if anything I would make the legs a bit more longer and leave the centre piece alone. As for the dax, nice font, but I think the character spacing is little to tight, good work thought.

I like it!

The symbol is great as-is, doesn't have to resemble a roach exactly, besides, how else could you do the globe if not circular, remember, it's a mix of two things so both can't resemble the real thing. Great logo.

This is really nice. I think it solves the creative problem really well.

I like the symbol. But, I think Global should be the same weight since both sides of the roach are.

Thanks a bunch! Regarding light/bold you are probably right. i've decided to go this route mainly because of the b/w usage, where that separation makes sense...

This mark is brilliant. I think you nailed it with this execution. I wouldn't change anything!
