Hey everyone,
First time poster and my first logo. Please critique it..if you don't like it, don't just say it sucks -- tell me how to make it better.
My company develops social media applications, therefore "Media" is needed. There is a company in my area already named "Archway Media" which is little known and only produces wedding videos. So I had to add "Technologies" which has been abbreviated to just Tech. Archway is significant because my partner and I were both born and raised in St. Louis, MO, our company is based there, and this will be our target market (granted our flagship product isn't successful and we do client work). For branding purposes, which is better: Archway Media Tech or Archway MT? Or any other ideas?
In the first logo, Media Tech is abbreviated as "MT" which is a play on trademarks. If we chose this logo, we'll eventually have to drop the MT and add TM when we do get it trademarked.
Colors - I'm open to changing these, but I'd like something with contrast.
Font- NeoSans, any other suggestions?
I'm also not sure about the text masking, as I don't want the logo to look dated when all this "2.0" crap fades. All in all, I was going for something simple.. thanks.
