Joe "Giuseppe" Zuccaro
Disclosure: I am an acquaintance with Scott White.
Now for my comments:
- Bnet tells me nothing.
- Business Opportunities Weblog is crisply executed, but does not excite me/convince me to probe further
- Caskey Blog – Great “C”, great tagline
- Conversation Agency – nice, but “CA” reminds me of Computer Associates so it’s confusing
- Entrepreneur Blog – You’re kidding, right?
- erabatu.ru – NYET
- Joe Urban – the blogger’s name/urbanist title should be dropped. Crowds what would otherwise be pretty good, but then again the illustration looks lame. Urban to me implies more density. Show a denser “skyline”
- Monolog – another crisp execution that tells me nothing.
- Nubloo’s Blog – I can’t look at it or say it fast 5 times
- OnStartups – reminds me of OnStar… too copycat… if a startup isn’t “disruptive,” will it survive?
- Shoestring Branding – tells me what it does, but not powerful enough an image. Looks like they need a branding consultant
- Small Business Trends. – Nada.
- YoungEntrepreneur – not bad
- StartupNation – great name, great tagline, good use of heart-tugging flag.
OK, I’ve given my disclosure, given my gut reactions to all the other logos… now my verdict.
Brand Identity Guru rocks for 3 reasons:
1. It tells me what it is and does.,
2. The acronym meshes with a conceptual objective of branding
3. The emphasis on “Identity” also meshes with a concept of branding
4. He is using my college fraternity colors
(I said 3 reasons and gave you 4, but most of you may discount the last reason!)

Well, this was an easy choice for me.
YoungEntrepreneur.com logo is most definitely the one that speaks to me the most. It is a clean yet descriptive logo with colors that are truly complimentary. Best of luck!

BIG seems to have a lot of groupies. ;o)
Which, I guess, is fine, though that would seem to turn this more into a popularity contest than a logo contest.

monolog is by fair the easiest choice among those….
A lot of the logos do not really jump out at you at all.
Conversation Agency – is worth a mention because it is different.
Young Entrepreneur – Because of the icon.

Joe (Zuccaro),
Thanks for taking the time to give your thoughts on each individual logo.
Darrel,
BIG certainly does have a lot of fans (more to do with their service I imagine). Still, the main award is judged on design merits by a great panel. That will come after all categories are published.
Thanks everyone for the kind votes.

Darrel
I entered the JU one, so am biased a bit. that said, now that I look at these, is that one in the right category? I assumed ‘business’ was pertaining to blogs that were blogging about business in general (be it banking, agriculture, what-have-you). In hindsight, these all seem to be very specifically about ‘business consulting’. Feel free to omit/move that logo if this is in the wrong category.
As for the others, my vote would be:
– erabota.ru = no idea what it says, but great type and nice mark.
– monolog and OnStartus (tie) = nice wordmarks.
Darrel’s last blog post..Ugh. Another CAPTCHA. I hate th…oh! Puppies and Kitties!
