Well, not my homework exactly, but I’ve got a little survey I’m trying to get a few answers for. If you’ve got a spare moment I’d really appreciate it if you could hop over to [my livejournal](http://miconazole.livejournal.com/82534.html) (since everything already there and laid out nicer than it would be on these boards) and fill it out. You can answer here or in my journal. Don’t think too much about the answers, it’s just a quick questionnaire. Thanks for your help! 😃

</div>

1. Maybe. I dunno for sure.
2. No. Drugs maybe?
3. Professional, Corporate
4. I cannot see these logos.
5. How can a logo look “trustworthy” "warm"or “impersonal”? They all have the same “attractiveness” quotient. The most professional looking one is un-numbered; it is an elongated star in cyan between #2 and #3.
6. See #5. Also, the pea-green color of #6 is off-putting. Ick.  
Bonus: No.  
Checkered logo: Looks like Purina Feeds.

</div>

1: No  
2: Education  
3:- Trustworthy

- Professional
- Corporate
- Scientific  
4: Can´t see the logos ☹  
5:  
a. Professional? 1, 2, 5, 9  
b. Trustworthy? 1, 2, 5, 8, 9  
c. Warm? 3, 4, 5, 6, 7  
d. Impersonal? 1, 8, 9  
e. Attractive? 3, 5

6: 3 & 6 are way too stylizised for my taste. Too hard to figure out the “a”

Bonus: Yes  
Megabonus: It reminds me of a particular financial institution, but I can’t remember which.

Hmm, it’s really weird that that image isn’t working. There’s nothing wrong with the link. I deleted it and reuploaded; can you see it now?

Livejournal’s blocked by my work filters, otherwise I’d fill it out.

Bonus Question: No, but one variation of 6 does.

The red checkerboard does look familiar. Maybe a pharmaceutical company?

Ha! Found the one it reminded me of - [HSBC](http://www.hsbc.com/1/2/)!

If you mean the third one, it looks more like a biohazard symbol. Not the best logo for a pharmaceutical company, now that I think about it.

1. If it is the drug company then ‘yes’.
2. Presumably drugs
3. 

- Impersonal
- Professional
- Cold
- Corporate
- Scientific

1. Can’t see this one
2. 

a 1,2,8,9  
b 1,2,9  
c 3,4,5,6,7  
d 1,2,3,4,5,9  
e 1

1. Yes, it looks like a red checkered flag. Or perhaps a Pizza Hut tablecloth. It does look like the HSBC logo a bit. Or reminiscent of the Mitsubishi logo.

</div>

1. Yes – they’re a client of my company, and I’d done some work with them.
2. Yes.
3. Warm - Professional - Corporate
4. Can’t see 'em.
5. Not quite sure what you’re looking for here. If you want to know my favorite, I think it’d be #2 – it at least makes me think a bit, wondering what the dots represent. #8 looks like Abbott is working on his nunchuck skills.

And I think Ralston Purina uses/used a similar red checkerboard logo…

1. No

2. No. Pharmaceutical?

3. cold, corporate, professional

4. can’t view the logos

5. a. 2 (professional)  
b. 2 (trustworthy)  
c. 1 (warm)  
d. 9 (impersonal)  
e. 7 (attractive)

6. I like 1 and 7. I don’t think 8 looks radioactive, just ugly.

The logo does not look familiar, although I think Ralston-Purina has an extended, upright version.

</div>

1. No.
2. Financial.
3. Warm, Fun. None of the others apply.
4. 1, 2 and 9a are all Impersonal.
5. 9a is still Impersonal. I like #2 and 9b, though 9b should be blue, not red.
6. I think the guy on the website is unnaturally buff and it makes me distrust the sales pitch.
7. No, it looks like a searchlight, as on a windmill.
8. Don’t recognize it.

Bwahaha. I think it’s a rotating image.

Thanks for the responses, guys. Oh, and that picture some of you can’t see? I saved it as cmyk. :smack: Apparently not every browser can load cmyk jpegs (actually, I’m surprised any of them can). It should work now.

6. Not really

Bonus: It’s a bit like HSBC’s, but it reminds me more of Tosoh Biosciences’ logo if you’re familiar with them.
