Thumbs up Outside Opinions sought

I'd like your opinions on the attached logo ideas.

None is chosen yet and I have my own personal favourite.

But I'd like to open this up to discussion.

All comments welcome - as long as they're (good) constructive.

I like the bottom one best and I think the purple one fades out just a wee bit too much on the right.

Thanks,

obviously they all can be altered to suit a final colour scheme

The "button" type theme is ubiquitous but effective, especially when this is primarily a web offering.

The last one, but it needs simplifying. You could the man's head and little hands, but either way I'd enlarge the graphic in the circle. Then lose the outer rectangle and sort out the massive leading on the type.

I could ? what? the mans head and little hands???

Drop, Enlarge.

I realise I could probably improve the colour contrast in the buttons, but too much contrast overeggs the button effect.

Useful pointers so far!!

Apart from the second one down, they're all just collections of bits in a web-button style.
No.2 has the makings of an actual logo.
Best tip is always design in 2 colours and keep it flat. Once the logo has been worked on and signed off, then it can be embellished with these very common place 'button' effects.

Ouch!

But observation received all the same. I had recognised the buttons were common place, so you're saying maybe they are part of the site theme rather than the Identity?

Further dev for Logopro who was missing the little guy!
