Initialé
Submitted by wszp on Tue, 2008-07-08 13:54.
After rethinking the concept we wanted to show that we are the initiale in designing things for the "e-age" (e-mail, web, ePR, etc.).
Moreover in French the world is spelled initialé, so we might use that to our advantage. (Note: We are working in EU, not US) Moreover I'm looking forward for your input since I might refine this or redo from scratch as I did with the earlier versions.
Thanks a lot.
P.S.: Would you kindly delete the other two version for Initiale logo approach? I don't want people commenting the earlier, scapped versions, I would love some comment for the current versions.

Are you sure about your
Are you sure about your French? If you mean initiale as in "first," there is no accent over the E. You don't pronounce the e, either, and even if you did, as you would in Italian, it would not be as a long EE sound, so the emphasis to connect with E for electronics makes no sense.
I would really advise you to stop with these poorly researched and conceived ideas and immerse yourself for a while in what a logo is, and what your company's logo should project. You seem to be very confused about both. Sorry, friend, but that's how it's coming across to me.

I think...
That you need to hire a Graphic Designer to create your logo.

Thanks a lot for the nice
Thanks a lot for the nice comments.
First of all, I'm experimenting and working on a logo.
Second, thank you Mara for the é comment that was indeed helpful.
Third: Both of you please read your posts, then think about them. Thank you.
Sorry.
I'm sure they did read them, and thought about them before they posted. And guess what? I think they're right.
You don't seem to know what a logo is, and you don't seem to know how to create one. In fact, you don't even seem to really know how your company name is spelled and what portion of that you want to use in your logo. (For example, you used an initial in your name as well as "W" for "web" in one of your previous versions.)
My suggestion is that if you're web company is actually real and ready to roll, hire a professional designer (not someone that just claims they can use photoshop) to come up with a quality logo. It will save you time and give you something that you can use for years to come.
If you honestly refuse to hire someone else, you've got a lot of studying ahead of you. The most important step: Find some logotype books and read up on why logos do and do not work. Drive down the road and think of the same. Then take this questionnaire to help you decide what your company needs in identity. After that, take out a piece of paper, and start sketching. After many, many sketches, try taking some of the best into Illustrator. After that, post them here for critique.

Thank you, I will come back
Thank you, I will come back soon.
wszp, sorry you are
wszp, sorry you are receiving so many direct and honest comments that may seem harsh, but they are true and you should definitely pay attention. For your brief none of your logos have been close or up to the task.
For example, if you are a web company, I'd stay far away from thin, serif fonts and go more bold, sans-serif; even "Techy". Look at other web design firm logos for inspiration then do your "thinking" away from cb.org. Your initial comps are reminiscent more of design school flights of fancy not suitable for the real-world.
The logos you have presented thus far will not reproduce well in any medium, web or print. You want your logo to be strong and flexible at the same time. IMO.
Analyze your market, do research, and then start building your own ideas based on this body of information. It wouldn't hurt to read up on this site the post called What is a logo. It covers any question you might have and will help jump-start your exploration.
Once you have three solid ideas, bring them here for critiquing. I think the reaction you're getting is as much exasperation at the continued lack of understanding of posters with regard to what design IS as much as it is an attempt to truly help you do better.
