the assignment on this job was to take the customers existing logo and revamp it(fyi: i did not create this original logo)
i was inspired in part by the new chevron logo and decided to try something along those lines. i also used a nice, bold san serif font for the main text, which i think really fits well with the design.
I think the text element you came up with works better with the flat version of the logo (cause they're both bolder).
I think my observations aren't helping a damn thing...
