| Best logo yet! I very much like the circled-planet center. Not so sure I like the cropped "h" on top, perhaps it could be modified. But this one is showing promise. How about changing it to a fat, capital H instead? Something like a less ugly/more stylized version of this: http://hcoop.net/~ntk/planet-round-mod.png (Obviously that H is too wimpy-looking, but that seems to be a more balanced-looking/symmetrical logo.) --NathanKennedy I like this a lot. Even though Adam says that text may work against us, I think using the planet in the center and then a simple "HCOOP" in the black ring would look great. Perhaps the HCOOP being at the same arc as the ring. --JohnSettino |

| I really like the general idea behind these two! I'm not too thrilled about the 4 arms though. For some reason I get this odd vibe from it. Instead of 4 arms perhaps it would look better if it were just two hands grasping each other. Or, a bunch of hands underneath the world/webpages. Actually if its not too hard could you just bring out the world/webpages that are in center so its in the foreground and is ontop of the arms.
