Still confusing as hell and technically flawed.

- WTF is up with the "I" in HOWZIT?
- A thick sans-serif font mized with a hand-written font?
- The white lettering now requires a dark background for use in other media?
- Tells me NOTHING about what you do or what you are about. What does garbage handwriting in yellow have to do with mobile? Or "think?" I don't see any "thinking" going on there.
- It gives me a headache.

Face it. You are not an artist. Drop the $$$ and hire a real one.

Are you sure you aren't a cellphone company? You even have [what I see as] a mobile phone as the "I". But oh well...

learn: thanks for your feedback, i guess, though your tone is pretty ridiculous. i know that the logo doesn't tell you exactly what the company does. what about microsoft? ikea? intel? GE? mcdonald's? hewlett-packard? dow chemical? sony? apple? oracle? canon? these are some of the world's strongest brands and their logos are pretty much meaningless. not to say that the brands are strong BECAUSE OF their logos, but the notion that a logo has to tell you exactly what a company does is, in my opinion, garbage. as for the dark background with white lettering - well the version i posted is from the header of our application, which is dark. we also have a version with dark lettering on a white background. and the "i" in howzit - well if you couldn't tell it's a mobile phone then perhaps you should get your eyes checked. we ran this logo by dozens of people before deciding on it and not a single one didn't realize it was a mobile phone.

Synook: we are a mobile marketing company. we allow companies to receive feedback via SMS and to send out marketing messages via SMS. "think mobile" reflects our approach of helping companies to adopt a new mindset, one that allows them to have a meaningful dialogue with their customers using mobile technology.

It's clear that it's a cell phone replacing a letter, but I wish the cell phone was more up-to-date in its appearance and had more character. As it stands, I feel like it's way too elongated (circa 1985). Making it more illustrative would have definitely been a better direction, but as a whole your newest iteration is a definitely an improvement.

I agree that the cell phone needs to be modernized - perhaps try a clamshell phone side on... narrow and would have a nice breakup line running part way up, should be tall enough too if the ariel is still placed ontop.

I think your along the right lines, just needs tweaking - personally i'm not too keen on the colour scheme.
