I did right out a long, thoughtful message detailing the finer points of context = meaning, processes vs. end-results and style vs. substance - but realized it may be over your head. So I'll leave you with "'good luck and happy trails"

The E in 3 looks like an E, because shapc isn't a word. It's a logo, not a typeface.

Just thought id let you know there is already a design studio based in Manchester called 'Shape'....

You're a designer asking other designers which logo represents you best?

1970s called, they want their logos back

i like #3 best, but i trust you've explored options where the logo itself is not using literal geometric shape forms. it does sorta say that you will give the client the most obvious solution to their problems. If a restaurant called Smiley's wants a logo, will you give them a plate with a smile on it? The Manchester studio almost does this, but chickened out with Helvetica everything.

I love all of them.
People don't understand that an agency logo doesn't need to be anything ground-breaking. Should be simple, to the point, even a little cheesy doesn't hurt. Something that won't become tired to look at.
I'm sure whichever your favorite is at the office will do very well.
Just be sure not to use this style for clients!!!

#2 works best from the standpoint of a recognizable word form. All the others have poor legibility in comparison. The feel is 1990's skate brand though. I think you need to redraw, unless you're catering to the 90's style revival clientelle.

i don't like any of them. but if i'm to choose one i would go with number one and get rid of the circle in the A. simply as that. Rest of them looks really out dated. unless that's the look you are going for.

they're all pretty awful. 2 looks like you've stolen the 'very' logo's typeface. 3 and 4 look like 70s disco throwbacks. non really say we're a new agency and we can design great things for you.

all are a snapshot of todays most boring and overdone trends.
