Trying to get logo feedback here is like ramming your arm into a fucking garbage disposal.

You've given it a good go but I don't think this mark and typeface are working well together.

Is a logo mark supposed to mean something, or is the goal just some kind of arbitrary shape that gets a stylistic message across?

forget the website and the "copy" in it. I started this company a few years ago with some friends and it didn't quite work out.
Long story short, I'm going on my own now, under the same name.
Now on the work side: flash (as3), design, motion.
Now, is it that bad if the logo doesn't say flashAS3AfterEffectsDesignGuy.co... ?
I mean what i do will be clear when my new website is up. Now i just want to have my logo done.

Everything requires too much decoding as none of it really seems to mean anything, even in the paragraph of 'explanation' as to what you do, we are left utterly none the wiser – one has to ask; do you know what it is you do?
I simply think it's far too meta/esoteric
- I do think it's much improved, and does have a certain appeal, but from a branding perspective I'm lost.sicarius

duplicate and flip mark to close the hexagon so it looks more like a hive thing and less like a F, E or C.

The top versions are cleaner but I think the push back on the italics is warranted. Not sure why, but it may be that your mark is so angular that a non italics solution might add some good contrast. I will say that I did like that the 'h' in the first solution had a connection with the mark (having that same angle) that these latest ones are lacking. It would be nice to work in a relationship.

Somehow I need more context, more of some indication that's less abstract, and less like a "c" meets an "e" ... I realize that engineering and tech/innovation companies often have vague logos, but I agree with suggestion above to work on the type itself as the logo, possibly with some way to indicate a structure, as that's what a "hive" is anyway....

like the mark, not feeling the italics.

my advice is that with a name like inhive, you focus on a purely typographic solution. and at six letters, it's ripe for some clever typographic treatment. the symbol you are using is kind of abstract and doesn't really add much.
also, with this istock selling logos business and all the crowdsourcing bs i think we are going to begin seeing a flood of these types of abstract geometric symbols that people will buy for a few hundred bones and slap their company's name below.
strong, smart, typographic logos will be in the minority and hence, give you an edge, especially if you are involved in any creative field.
sorry for the rant.
- it's a good looking logo so shut your ramblingvitamins

I prefer the bottom two. Try making the font bigger or maybe caps it. Overall, it's looking good.
