I still like your original one better. The alignment of the blue blocks suggests you made them align. Of the new ones, I like the swoosh stripes best.

hmm I might like the loss of the shadow

i'll toy with that in a sec...

i'll also reintroduce the blocks... i didn't care for those original blocks, after someone in another thread commented on how 90s and corporate the logo looked. i ended up agreeing and scratched it. however, if you guys think blocks in alignment is a good idea, i'll try and find something.

by the way, thanks for all the congrats and well-wishes.

it's extremely hard right now because i have to find all my own patients now and i'm not getting a paycheck and i have to pay for everything involved in marketing myself and i'm going broke REAL fast.

both of those logos just scream generic to me... like you got them off of those websites that sell you logos and you put the text next to it.

Anyway, the running man logo looks better, but lose the shadow.

yeah, that's pretty much what i did. i can't afford a professional to create one.

There's nothing wrong with that, just an observation.

Here's the thing... how set are you on that color scheme? The reason why I ask, is that while the blue and neon green looks good initially, it's a color scheme that's largely over done.

I'd try playing around with the colors a bit more... perhaps just toning down the "neon" of the colors if possible.

it's just a light green, not neon green. maybe your screen brightness is up a bit high or something?

i looked up the psychology of logo colors and those were the main colors i wanted. i originally wanted something like orange and blue, but my independent contract holder has his logo in all orange and blue and it'd just look silly if i did the same colors he has...

i got rid of the shadow as best i could... i couldn't delete it because it was part of the image. i also changed the green spine to a bright yellow. i also toned the green down a little bit because someone said it looked like neon green originally.

You are missing a comma

you mean after "spine"? yeah, i grappled with that for a few minutes whenever i registered my llc...

basically, i came to the conclusion that "integrated sport, spine, & wellness" doesn't look right. i've seen many businesses that have their business laid out just the way i have it. so, i didn't think it'd be a big deal.

Actually it's correct without the comma. http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas.htm first rule.

when you have things in series, you put a comma between them...

for example, "at the store, i bought an apple, a steak, and some water"

i know you can remove the comma between "a steak" and "some water" and it would be ok, but i hate that. it makes it look like "i bought an apple and a watery steak" or something.

The 'and' disambiguates the sentence.

"hey jenny, bill and tom went to the mall"
vs
"hey jenny, bill, and tom went to the mall"

either way, i know it's not technically incorrect, but for me, personally, it's unacceptable for me to write that way. to me, it only makes sense to use a comma as a separator for each thing in the series... otherwise, you risk sounding like the last two things in the series form one thought in the series... it needs to make sense if you remove the things prior to their respective commas...

"i like raindrops, roses, whiskers, and kittens" = "i like raindrops," "i like roses," "i like whiskers," "i like kittens"

"i like raindrops, roses, whiskers and kittens" = "i like raindrops," "i like roses," "i like whiskers and kittens"

it just doesn't do it for me...

that's actually a pretty good slogan... just not for me. i really like the idea, though.

how about...

".....

i got nothin... i'm bad at this game.

i'm basically looking for something that the average person can look at and obviously not feel excluded because they're not an athlete. i feel like the runner kinda gives the idea that i only treat athletes. i want the average person to feel welcome.

something like, "average people welcome," but not.

That's not the case with your logo though, there's only one reasonable interpretation. If in doubt, leave it out.

right, i agree. i'm just saying that it kinda irks me lol... my own llc name irks me hahaha

it's just one of those nitpick things with me, i suppose. but, hey, it's not incorrect and it looks more professional than "integrated sport, spine, & wellness"

i was worried that it looked like my llc was "integrated sport" and i only did spine and wellness care... know what i mean? but the fact that i have "integrated" and "sport, spine & wellness" on different lines in different sizes with different colors helps fix that confusion.
