Well, you did say in another post that I ought to use that love of the gear as part of my branding, lol.
I'm having the designer try again since I wasn't really wow'ed with any of these. However, the "Mr. Mikey" design was one that might be worth re-visiting as we go through this process a bit more.
I'd definitely turn the block of test next to him into a preamp... it just makes sense, so long as it doesn't become too distracting.
Jeff: while I like the logocompany's portfolio, I had some issues with some of their design concepts. Let me give an example or two:
Okay, I think they missed the idea that I am not a woman. Also, didn't like the design (and I'd never wear that dress... totally doesn't go with my eyes or hair  )
I'm having flashbacks to some of the kids shows I watched on PBS back in the 70s. Frankly, this one scares me a bit.
Meh on design. Doesn't have any personality (aside from minor technical issues with the separation of my name, etc.)
Same as previous comment.
Do I even need to comment? Sunhat is an interesting choice.

#1.
Egad, those rejects were awful. That's what you get when you outsource logo design to China. No offense to any lurking Chinese people.

really? I figured outsourcing was how they could do it so cheap. Do they use design students or something?

I think the they have one illustrator who handles some of the work, but that would explain a lot.
I've chatted with them and they are VERY friendly. I'm just not getting any hits out of them so far. I think I might have to sketch something for them and begin praying, lol.

I'm sorry, but that first reject with the woman, um, being friendly with the mic, is really, really hilarious.
I would keep that one handy for April 1st.

#2 & #4 are not horrible.
i'd still drop the "s" and make it "voiceover"

ok - explanation ... and remember this is JUST my opinion.
#1 - too busy
#2 like it - would translate well to gray scale - maybe a little less shadow
#3 don't know - just don't like it
#4 this one is already b&w, again maybe a bit less shadow - i like the "voiceover" to the left.
#5 looks very 80's (if that's what you're going for choose this one) give it a michael jackson red leather jacket & yer ready to go!
#6 don't like the way the name runs together and I think the "star" is goofy
#7 again - too busy - and although WE know it's a mic - others less smarter than us may not.
my 1st draft of my logo had the same issue as #7 (blue dragonfly mic) - nobody "got it".
ok - that's it from the simon cowl of logo criticizing.

Looks like the Blue Mouse to me.
BTW: I like number 4 best.
