    The top is better but still could use some refining.

    the first one is better, but still not the best it can be.

    Are you designing these as vector, the pixellization on the angled lines seems to suggest you aren't, and there's no way to properly create a logo unless it is vector. I recommend Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape.org equally for this task, and Inkscape is free for all operating systems, so definitely check that out.

    Next: Arial? really? the descender on the 'R' in the new one looks like a flaccid 'body part'

    No lens flare. That sort of effect has no place on a logo, and you won't ever see a large company ever use one because it cheapens the design to a level that makes the entire thing counter-productive.

    Peronsally, what's the windmill thing doing in the middle. I'd recommend unless it HAS a reason to be there, to get rid of it. You're adding WAY to much stuff onto this design just because you can.

    Go look at Microsoft's logo, Sony, Sharp, IBM, JVC, Panasonic, Apple - then think about your logo and how it looks. Those logos are some of the best out there, you can't go wrong by imitating them.

    Sooo, what about a flat black version, with the orange X, but drawn as a vector image? Lets have it!

    Nice work, first logo is slightly better though. How about just using a black O instead of the glossy orb? The X already stands out well enough, don't need 2 things to compete for attention. Could also clean up the X a bit with straight lines since the logo structuring has a rigid style anyways.

    Yeah, the one on the top appears more attractive, but id like to see how it would fare when scaled to the same size as the second one.

    touché.

    As far as logos go technically, the first one is a far superior logo, but that doesn't mean it looks better, it just mean it works more.

    Form follows function. It doesn't matter how good it looks as long as it works as a logo first.

    The first one certainly looks more lively.....

    As already suggested by many....the straight lines need to be made smoother....for more appeal.

    people are are saying it's more beautiful don't support why it is a better logo though. Looks aren't everything, a logo must be a vector image, it doesn't matter how it looks, it absolutely needs to be vector.

    Please post the PDF version of this one here as an update.

    It's obvious dude, that the first one logo is better and by the way 2nd one is also not bed. Even 2nd one also is better becasue it's meet the Logo standard.

    Like if you will go for two color printing the printer will prefer the 2nd one... It could be easily print on business card..

    I liked the second one only because I thought the ORB thing was hard to read, but if i think about it i would revote to choose the orb -- it looks cool :)

    The second is much more professional... And serious...

    The first one looks like it has a ying yang sign? If it's a ZEN organization perhaps... But for an IT company doesn't suit really?

    Voted second purely because of the hideous generic photoshop lens flare. Never ever ever use lens flare. Ok, thats not fair, there are times to use it subtly, but never the generic flare, and never so obviously.

    That said, the new one has the potential to be a better logo, you just went overboard on the decoration, and this hurts it as a logo.

    Id retract points for over use of gradients as that would mess up almost any print of it. If its just for web you can get away with the gradients, but I would defiantly make a flat logo (for print), a grey scale, and a black and white, and see how they compare and if you want to remodify them in order to keep branding coherent across legibility levels. Then rework the result.

    And honestly, like many other people have said, I would remove the orb thing and just use an O. The dashed X and the 0 together steal attention away from each other, and distract anyone looking at the logo. Also it doesnt seem to say anything coherent about the company, which makes it kinda pointless.

    However your "squishing" of it works, and your new one is definitely more dynamic.
