If it’s a mostly apple dealer then why not try to capitalize on some of their ideas. None of these say Mac to me, they say speak and spell.

I cannot agree with “Picard”. ( No real name given) Grabbing the mac look is a dismal idea in my opinion.

First, it would piss off Apple. Second it make you look like an also-ran not a proper company. 3rd it would kill any self respect.

I like the 3rd one best. But I would keep batting ideas around. You might want to open up the space between those letters - that compressed look is a bit dated in my opinion. I would take aleaf out of apple’s book and make thing look simpler. Why not get a techy sans from FontFont?

“Grabbing the mac look is a dismal idea in my opinion.”

“I would take aleaf out of apple’s book and make thing look simpler.”

Contradiction.

What happened to the counter of the ’g’ in the last two images?

And I’m sorry if this sounds harsh, but I think the customized ’t’ doesn’t look right; It’s too heavy, doesn’t fit with the style of the typeface, and the crossbar is too high and too light.

It depends on what you mean by some of their ideas This sounds like you were suggesting taking their style & modifying it. Making things simpler is more generic. What did you mean anyway?

I am not sure I hate the t the way that Jelmar does but if you open the space up it might call for a revised t...

I don’t really hate it, but to me it looks as if it doesn’t belong in the group, so to speak. :)

hey first of all thx for all the comments

the problem with the apple thing is that its a company that
want to grow to other fields in the computer area
and i dont want to limit them in the logo, the charcters
are myriad pro that been modified im sure i need to tune and keep on chging
and thats exactly why im here the spaces and the t its all important critique for me

Well talking about copying Apple... What’s the “i” doing at the beginning then anyway...

What about pixel form to emphasise the digital aspect.
