Does Savant make sense in this context?...having second thoughs.

I thought it said "Smute" before i got a closer look.. number 3 looks like a cheesy Word text art. i'm not sure what savant means... sorry.

I do like the tagline no need to shout. but it seems like you would need a more playful font choice then what you have chosen...

Looks like your going to do this "Mute" thing after all eh? In my opinion, none of these will work for me. Heres why.....

1. They dont really represent anything about your company.

2. Taglines rarely work on logo's.

3. The logo element (quote without a quote) looks like an "S", which makes it confusing to read.......I read "SMUTE" the first time.

4. The black boxes are too big and obnoxious, confining your logo inside a black box is a no no.

5. The fonts are boring.

6. When creating a logo, start with black and white first. STAY AWAY FROM SHADOWS and GRADIENTS.

Perhaps you might want to read up on the fundamentals of logo design. Keep in mind that your logo has to be clean and simple, yet be able to be scaled to different sizes without it getting distorted because of small details, gradients, shadows or tag lines.

You got a descent start, but doesn't seems like you planned out what you want your logo to look like. Don't wing it. Do some brainstorming. What do you want your logo to say about your company? Try incorporating that into your logo instead of that funky looking "quote" element, if not.......work on better incorporating the quotation marks. Don't worry about color yet, just work in black and white. All in all, #4 has the best potential so far......but step back, re-think what your aiming for......and build from there.

How about, 'creative mute: actions speak louder than words'?

Your concept as it is isn't moving me at all, though the top design seemed the most eyecatching.

Powerpoint is not a design application

If any, number 2 but move the quotation marks...perhaps above and to the right of the e so as not to confuse. The font is still very boring. No probs with the tagline, but as noted above, it shouldn't have to hold together or explain the logo.

Have you sat down and sketched out your ideas? I find this paramount to the initial design process.

I like the idea of your first business card better. I do not care for the extruded font or that it is italicized. Your card would be awesome if the word “MUTE” could be embossed on the business card, with a subdued tagline. Look at these cards;

If you need a tag line to explain both the company name and the logo, both are wrong. Start over.
