Help pick OnlineStorageAuctions.com's logo

Over the next 6 days, I will be posting potential logos for OnlineStorageAuctions.com as they come in from the graphic design team. I would really appreciate your input. On the 6th day, I'll create a poll and put it to a vote.

Here is logo #1.

Here is logo # 2.

Here is logo # 2.

Allow me to be the first to remind you of the discussion over your green logo for this site when you first took it over...green sucks.

Logo #3 - it has a little more blue in it!   

I like #1's color scheme but #3's design.. so far

For me, so far #1 is it.

I'll ask them to substitute the green for orange to see how it looks.

For me, so far #1 is it.

I really like #1 as well. I really didn't want a gavel in the design, but it seems to work well here.

They've already submitted about 60 designs, most of which were average at best. I'll just be posting the best here.

Here is logo #4.

And logo # 5.

And logo # 5.

After seeing the 5 I still think #1 is the best. The #5 is a close 2nd, but it loses to #1 because the color contrast of the bottom banner in #5 is a bit harder on the eyes. I do like the gavel being in the logo, it compliments the auction theme. Plus the way the gavel shows impact by rippling the O is kind of clever.

No disrespect, but none of the above.  I know next to nothing when it comes to graphic design, but is there some program that everyone uses?  It seems like the majority of logos look like these.

I have to agree. We received about 80 different designs from 20 different designers. All but about 4 of the 80 were in the same font. I ended up choosing #1 but I had the designer add a few twists. Here are the final results. Click image to enlarge.

Just sent you a PM, Travis.  Contact info for a great graphic illustrator I used for a logo, in case you want to explore more options.
