Looks good. I’m wondering what it looks like without the gradient. ---

I`m not a big fan of using gradients in logo, but I think in this case it works. Just see how it looks without it… :-/ ---

it seems like the gradient’s main function is to change the contrast between the green and the yellow. maybe a slight white glow around the text would work. this way, you have the contrast, but the whole yellow part isn’t gradient. just a thought. ---

I like the second one better although the yellow does seem pretty bright. Also, why not tuck the bottom text up closer to the ROMNAV text? ---

I like the logo without the gradient, on my screen it looks like the opacity is fading over the lover portion of the helm, that’s a helm right?. I like the overall design, good work ---

it looks good but lopsided to me…How about using the wheel upright? I think it will be a little more balanced that way. ---

I like it, what would it be like with out the drop shadow on the wheel? ---

I like the non gradient version better, the gradient looks to artificial IMO… ---

Have you tried using the O as the center of the wheel and make the O yellow, not having the center of the wheel inside the O ? ---

This is what I meant by using the O as the center of the wheel. I also moved the “Transport Fluvial” text a bit. ---

I liked the ideea with yellow “O”, but the problem is that this logo will be on ships and it has to be legilbe from big distance. :h: ---

I like the last one the best. But My second favourite is the one with the yellow O. What would that look like without the drop shadow? ---

In my opinion I think you’ve nailed it. The last one looks great. ---

Nice logo! Just make shure it is vector, so it can be reused in brochures, TV, etc. ---
