1, but create a little more distance between the icon and the Type.
Nice work!

I vote for 3....I like the i/M, not sure about the text positioned below it though.
- 7point340
2 is interesting but why not extent the serifs on the right side of that M like on the left?
- *extend
7point34 - Its supposed to be an 'I' and an 'M'. The I is perpendicular to the M. I was afraid this wouldnt read like that...baseline_shift
- ah completely missed the I in the first mark7point34
- *extend

doesnt work for me. I like the b/w 3d letter, its a strong visual, but the combo I + M does not translate. I think both letters need to be ...like maybe the I AND the M separated some some both are actually 3D...
- disagree, The I+M combo works just fine...and even if its not recognized right away, it provides an "aha!" moment later which is always goodyeeblazer

i think the combo I + M is too clever....i mean i get it and all but visually it does not really work. for me.

I like the mark in one and two, but the text along the side doesn't work. Possibly with the type under like 3. would work better. It is a strong mark and you should let it stand out.

I think the M needs to be simplified...I don't think it works as a slab serif with that type
- so do the bottom 2 work for you?baseline_shift
- not really...still doesn't seem to match the type. for one thing, it's too bigukit

when the m is in front I think it's MimageMark, which is just weird. why not try one where you're doing the shadow thing for the entire word so you don't have two separate things?

- Tried this. Was really busy and just wasnt jiving for me. They also have an 'IM' combo in the existing logo, and im trying to extend that equity.baseline_shift
- extend that equity & recognition.baseline_shift

i read it as mimagemark when the graphic is in front of the text, so those don't work for me at all.
#3 has the most appeal (and easier to read as IM) but it still needs some work as well i think.

I think you need to work the Icon more. The I is a tough read with the serifed 3d type. It is marginally better with the sans serif but still something about it does not feel right. I think the wordmark is fine but the icon still needs to be tweaked.

it's a really good idea. a few little tweaks and you're onto a winner. i think the lower case "i" is easier to spot. and i do tend to read MimageMark so maybe change the positions slightly. other than that. good shit

Cheers guys! Thanks for the input.
Tweaks a comin'!

I read "mimage mark" the first go. I do like the second though. The IM looks good by itself as well.

3 works best for me, the clashing perspectives throw off the other ones.
1 & 2 look like the Michigan logo. Go blue.

the text of the logo- does there have to be capitalization? Maybe try to just
capitalize the "i" and have it as one word perhaps? I dunno just throwing that out there.To me it does sort of read like "Mimagemark" too.
on no. 4, maybe enhance the shadowing on the tops of the "M", and show some white space breaks on the angles?
Hope this helps, good luck!

As much as I think its really interesting the combination of forms in 1 and 2, I think #3 is the strongest - the IM reads really clearly and the letterforms work. Maybe try and create an alternate of #4 where the IM is the same height as the type?

3 FTW
- Antonelli0
yeah, #3 looks good to me now. but i would decrease the depth a little bit, so that the "i" is slightly narrower and not as fat.
