all caps
also think about how that would translate in to Chinese.
my friend did the same and only picked logos and represented that had symbol or words that included positive characteristics of the culture.

we don't really want any chinese business, so thats not an issue. it needs to be something that people will remember amongst all the other 1000's of start up restaurants, bars, design, marketing or promotion companies that open every week here.

I think you should learn how to kern before you try starting a company.

also type seems to be off.
why not use type like a thread?
- JSK0
its not so much name or shape that makes people remember, its the work that you do.
if you wanna stand out, just do good work.
if you are thinking about marketing or any creative / design area, you should understand your market rather than just ignoring it. rather its for foreign or regional company, someone is selling something.

JSK, couldn't find any thread type i liked. suggestions?
my argument with my partner, is that 2 and 3 or any variations of that sort of type (and kerning), just looks like any other design company.

list-o-needs for a great logo:
Avant Garde Alternates
lens flare
drop shadow
web 2.0ing (you know, the plastic wrap)
a swoosh arc thingy
possibly a rectangle
over-saturation
then make it 150% bigger

i think kerning is least the issue
- AllYourBase0
Not kerning is web 3.0 bitches... this idiot is ahead of us all.

constructive criticism=
the best you have is the first one and you need a secondary vocabulary which looks to be in the second and third options as the "mark".
Was I you I would print #1 out and re-draw it by hand connecting it into a single thread and adding a bit of "thread" texture to it. Keep it clean too.
I would also reconsider the color palette it feels dead, your portfolio work shows a lot more life.
standard NT response=
you did better work when you worked for other people.
