I am trying to decide what logo to use out of the 3, if any. opinions?

3rd one.

[Decker]

[themoose]

2nd.

Nah they're using the name Bright CMS, Brightlemon is the company, sorry MCT :knockedou

You might get a trademark infraction (a legal one) for that.....

[Escalus]

Negative on the legal action. If that was the case, you would have hundreds of thousands of lawsuits for having a CLOSE name.

It wouldn't stand up in court if he could prove that he had nothing to do with it or any sort of influence by it.

I say #3 for the logo design (looks professional) and I would push the words closer together and change the color of one of the words. Give it that fashion trendy design. Possibly make the 2 words the colors of the logo.

Overall, a very nice start =D

It's not CLOSE - it's IDENTICAL! Leading to minmal cease and desist, including remove all references to, etc.

[Escalus]

DOH! My bad, for some reason I didn't even pay attention to the name. I thought I saw bright lemon or some ish.

Well, in that case, you better duck and cover, sir!

*edit*
I just read the site and the rest of the posts, and I concur. Brightlemon released 'Bright CMS'.

Looks like a name change is in order.

[Decker]

Brightlemon - the company name
Bright CMS - well the CMS

:)

[iBrightDev]

hmmm, had it backwards. crap. well, the legal name is Method Computer Technologies - Bright CMS, and theirs is Bright Lemon - Bright CMS, so, i think it is ok, like a company name. It would be like you trying to register Method Computer Technologies in AZ. you would have to call it Deckers Method Computer Technologies so it distinguishes a different. i will look into it more, but, i think i am ok. maybe i will contact them.

[notnamed]

Well, I like the 3rd design, even if you find that you can't use the name.

[iBrightDev]

well, i just called the company in London, and got the director of the company's name and email, so, i wrote him asking permission to use the name. fingers crossed for a positive response. if not, then i will just have to make some new logos, and i will go with Basilio. :D

[stuffradio]

haha, good luck mct :)

[iBrightDev]

yeah, going to need it. i could just change the spelling to something more web 2.0. how about Bryte CMS?

[Ben]

Shine CMS seems the best.

I dunno, I'm kinda feeling "Scintillating CMS" ...

Thanks, Escalus.

[iBrightDev]

radiant isnt bad, but, i might just use Bryte if i dont get the ok from bright lemon.

[Keagle]

GleamCMS? ;)

[Johnson]

3rd one.

[iBrightDev]

thanks Devin.

I think the problem with the design is the font. Handwriting-styled font just doesn't cut it, hence most people tend to choose the third, which sports a clean looking font. I'll bet if you changed the font for the first and second logo, people would have a hard time choosing.

Personally, if I must choose out of the three, I'd have the incentive to pick the third too, but I still dislike its font. So my true opinion is, change all of the fonts and try again.

[iBrightDev]

thank Lex. each font was chosen for a reasy, but, i will look at some others.

[Decker]

LeX is right, script fonts don't do it anymore unless it's an 'arty' thing, sans fonts are a must, definately not times roman ;)

Tahoma, Verdana, Ariel of course the new MS Calibri is actually quite a nice one too. Play with those ones they have differing kerning/spacing characteristics (the way they fit and spread out).

Any joy from Brightlemon yet?

[iBrightDev]

havent heard anything yet. i am assuming i wont unless i call again. which i am about it do ;) going to run my cell bill up dammit.

[Decker]

LOL, fingers crossed :)

[iBrightDev]

they said he has my number and email and should be getting back to me shortly. :(

[Spritza]

Third.

[iBrightDev]

thanks. i will be making a few changes and re-positing these later. thanks again guys.

I would have to agree with you there.

3Rd Design.

Bright CMS is legal to use even if the Bright Lemon trademarked Bright cms. trademarks only pertain to a specific country or region. :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark#International_trademark_laws

so, that is good news, even without hearing back from the UK company. i will mess with the fonts and logos, and do another poll, and see what you guys think. thanks for all the support. :D
