    #5 which goes along with this site mockup by @michaeltroy http://flic.kr/p/7g6pSE

  • Adam

    I like number 2 much better. It’s something I could see being advertised on more sites, and it’s more ’social’ looking, which is where the whole net is going!

    PS – I’ll be at the first breakfast/lunch/dinner you guys have!

    I like number 7 – maybe without the text under it. The logo speaks for itself.

    #4… just because…

  • http://www.kirstenwinkler.com Kirsten Winkler

    #5 10/10 points. :)

    RC @Chris P.: #5 which goes along with this site mockup by @michaeltroy http://flic.kr/p/7g6pSE

  • http://www.TopClassActions.com Scott

    I’m a big fan of #3. #5 is nice but a bit to reminiscent of TED for some reason to me…

  • http://blog.justindorfman.com Justin B Dorfman

    #5 & #8 mash-up ;)

  • Ryan

    #2 and #5 as a second place.

  • http://www.eaglepaintsng.com akin disu

    A : 2. , B :7

  • http://www.pack4dreamhack.nl Rob

    Nr. 5 definitly.

  • http://Innovativexams.com Ruben A. Garcia

    number 3

  • Troy

    #1 looks like a movie logo. #2 looks like a hockey team logo. #3 is probably the best, but it’s a little too on the nose and not creative enough for my money. #4 isn’t creative enough. #5…….. it’s a circle. No creativity, but I like the text. #6 good, but not as good as #3. #7 what kind of symbol is that? #8 LOFREAKINL – but not for a serious Angel Investment company. #9 is that supposed to be Open Angel Forum or Angel Open Forum? To confusing, moving on. I like #3 the best. Ah who knows, maybe I’ll even try one of my own.

    Number 5,
    I like Number 2, but it doesn’t match the style of the individuals involved very well

  • http://www.twitter.com/mikallewis Mikal

    on second thought. Number 5 has a clear resemblance to Obama for America logo, so I’d rule that out for that reason alone.

  • http://hellomay.com Garth

    It’s gotta be #5.

  • http://alternativeto.net Markus Olausson

    #5 is really, really clean. It gets my vote for sure.

  • Samuel

    Number 5 if your looking for professional sophisticated look and Number 2 if you are looking for fresh youthfull look.

  • http://kuldeep.redanyway.com Kuldeep Kapade

    No. 5 definitely!

  • http://engineactive.com/abstract/ Michael Troy

    “#5…….. it’s a circle” – Troy

    LOL I love this comment. BTW I created that “circle”.

    Love it :)

  • http://www.phonehalo.com Chris Herbert

    5 – I like the bold lettering and simplicity.

  • Ray Shaw

    #1. It has a clean professional look and it actually has the work “investors”, making the mission a little more clear for people seeing it for the first time.

  • http://www.kashifpasta.com Kashif Pasta

    5, 6, 4, 3, in that order. 5 is pretty dynamic; the colours can be changed to suit a lot of different ads/documents/media

  • http://www.bigstartups.com BigStartups

    I like 5 with the blue circle with 7 as my second choice.

  • Aviah Laor

    #5. Clean, a classic angel symbol, also stands for working together (round table). But not the yellow version, it’s too pale.

  • Troy

    Wow. The last time I was here #10 didn’t pop up. I like that one.

  • http://www.americanbankingnews.com Matthew Paulson

    Logos should be dead simple and usable for any type of media. There’s a lot of graphic intensive choice on here, but they probably won’t work well in most mediums. I’d go for #5, seems like it would translate well to business cards, print materials, etc.

  • http://www.baduku.com Namsterdamus

    I would personally go for #2 and #5 as they have the cleanest and simplest look. Though #5 is really interesting and probably the best of them all, there are challenges though that you would face with #5 that you wouldn’t with #2 and that is primary the gradient. Print is not as simple as screen and if you notice the gradients are made up of two different PMS colors and though they look similar they aren’t. What this means is that the print results may not look as originally intended because they will dither the inks to create the illusion of fading from dark to light to white. Complication like that generally are things I avoid but if cost is not an issue some one could certainly make it a multi-color job to make that gradient perfect.

  • sessoms

    #5 takes it for me. But I like how #2 represents the angel’s wings, but also looks like a big middle finger to keiretsu.

  • http://www.armanarami.com Arman Arami

    I vote for #5.

  • jen

    8 is cute but 5 means serious business.

  • http://www.michaeljung.co.uk Michael Jung

    #5 or #1

    as everyone else!

  • tim

    Number 7. 5 is too common. Everyone has circles.

  • kiddmenot

    #2 no doubt..clean and simple. KISS

  • praful

    #3

  • Robert

    Prefer #5 together with the text.
    It is simple, visual, and transmits the message.

    For anyone interested. I have just published a post about my experience creating the Open Angel Forum logo design.

  • http://www.gamergrub.com Keith

    #2

  • Jesse

    3, and 8, then 5…

  • SFGary

    From some who used to work in a company that was super brand conscious, I would pick Number 1. Clean square look – a good image, it would be nicer if your designer threw in some red. A visible strong mark.

    #2 a fair second choice but the implication of the wings is that you take our money and go bye bye.. the others are fuzzy, work in progress types.

  • http://www.Qwanz.com Pierre Sernet

    I would have to vote for 1;

    But, better ask what the marketplace thinks;

    Just post the question on Qwanz.com and get the public at large to answer;
    You will even get detailed stats as to who thinks what by income level, age, education, country, etc.

    Just send embed a poll on this site and you will get the results and then some…

    Best of luck with it and your endeavors.

    I love #4, but can’t recommend it for the obvious reasons… and so I officially recommend #5.

  • Sam Clark

    No. 1. By far.

  • Gavin

    #5 is by far the best

  • http://www.viewpoint.pro Dan King

    I like #2. Simple and recognizable

  • http://www.freeosk.co.uk Louise

    #3 is cool.

  • http://www.makeplaylearn.com Alma

    Number 2 has the all-access appeal factor

  • http://www.audiomicro.com Ryan Born

    #7 gets my vote

  • http://thenixon.com Scott Nixon

    #8 love the bulldog!

  • Kevin Selle

    Number 1!

  • http://www.tithingmadeeasy.com Wayne Steiger

    I like #1 but after seeing #8 what better visual representation is there just says it all is this not the mind set you must have everyday, although some may not get it so I’d go with #1

  • http://www.bumpertunes.com Kit Seeborg

    #4 FTW. No, seriously, I vote for #7.

  • http://lifepages.com Michael Riordan

    #1 or #10 – I like em both! #8 for fun.

  • Ann

    Number 5 – the one you’re currently using. It looks very clean and put together and grabbed my attention right away!
