My vote is for #1. It looks like someone put some thought and effort into it.

Reading all of the responses has been quite interesting. Almost every reference to #5 says – SIMPLE – STRAITFORWARD – TO THE POINT. Very bland. Someone thinks they know how an entrepreneur should operate. And “Trendy” means when the trend is over so is your logo.

Good luck to all!

I feel that #1 is too “cute” and not at all a depiction of how an entrepreneur operates (or needs to operate) — things are not orderly nor do they fall into place in a symmetrical fashion. I like #5 because it is simple, clear and concise; and, it depicts more of the challenges faced by an entrepreneur — taking and array of parts and making them fit as best as possible and not necessarily perfect.

#1 looks both artistic and professional….. making it a good representation for a school helping people combine artistry and business. #11 seems both whimsical and solid….. another interesting combination. I’ll go with #1, but I want to congratulate all the finalists on their thought-provoking designs.

I think #5 has merit, but he geographic shapes mirror marks I’ve been for early learning centers (pre-schools). I think something called an institute needs to be a mark and type treatment that communicates grounded. I thought #1 does that and can be reproduced in print and online best. There is nothing superfluous about #1. Bobbie is right. It implies community and diversity nicely.

My vote goes to #1

Three captured my attention, #1, 5 and 10!

All three are clean and artistic, 10 lost to it’s simpleness – between 1 and 5 it was just a case of the first being more visualy apealing. Or to say it simply – I like it more!

#5 is colorful, very readable and quite trendy — no gimmicks, just the straightforward details in a well-presented fashion.

Like the unique type styles created for numbers 1 and 11. Good contrast in #1. Wording at bottom of #11 could be more heavily weighted to avoid top-heavy appearance.

I like #1. I also like 8, 9 and 10, although I’d change the font and/or the sizing on #10.

Great options to chose from!
