The current design follows none of the "simplistic" conventions outlined in the article "Anatomy of a logo" save for the simple color scheme (black and white). Still, I love the image. It conveys what I want it to convey and I find it striking and memorable. I will only change the layout of the words below the image, justifying it rather than leaving it centered, and leaving out the second line (summits). Any comments are welcome!

As a blogger and internet marketer by day, I actually am involved in business branding and logo design. Your logo should reflect your business in some way, whether it be a colour scheme or first letter e.g. 'M' - McDonalds. I disagree with an above comment saying that star bucks is green, which resembles mould. Green resembles eco-activity and portrays a business which looks after the environment, star bucks is also fair-trade - and active contributor to charities and actively promotes good working ethics. The persons above view is wrong, the Starbucks logo has longivity and a good impression. Great article.

Also, there are tons of examples of nice logos with bevels and/or shadows. For example: Skype, many colleges, counties, cities, departments, Mercedes and more and more. Anyway, make a nice logo for your customer. Be sure that they love it and advise using your professional opinion. Ok, the Coca Cola logo is nothing more than the word Coca Cola in a certain script.

I’m a designer, and one of the hardest things to do is design a logo that’s simple. It’s challenging to try to bring the very essence of a company down to one mark or symbol. But that’s just the start. After showing owners ten designs, many start to question the meaning of what they do. Being forced to “commit” to an approach often opens up a whole can of worms. Don’t get me wrong — I love what I do. Just wanted to emphasize that simple can be very very hard. Your article was very informed and to the point.

I personally feel that a more intricate design would attract a more sophisticated and well-learned crowd. Contrary to popular belief, the common man needs a diverse color palette for visual stimulation and a higher quality of life. Logos with less than three colors contribute to the ever-growing sense of monotony that pervades every aspect of corporate American living.
