I think the logo's simplicity is great. Simple is good. However, it's so simple it's hard to tell whether it's a cup of coffee or a bowl of soup. Add a handle and that's fixed.<br><br>I agree about it being a bit too froo-froo. Really it's just the wisps that contribute to that, though. If they didn't curl so sharply, and maybe intertwined a little bit it might look better.<br>
<br>I also like the idea of the logo featuring three colors especially when two of them are different values on the grayscale. So the ones with the red cup get my vote out of the ones you attached.<br><br>Now, having said all of that, if you replace the cup/bowl with a Duke similar to this one <<a href="http://hritcu.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/dukewithhelmet.jpg">http://hritcu.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/dukewithhelmet.jpg</a>>, I think it would look really good. It gets rid of the coffee theme and is still a very concise logo.<br>

<div style="">You may remember that Derrick Parkhurst of the OKC CoCo offered the services of one of his partners, Chad Henderson (@elmofromok), to create for us a new logo. Chad and I met about a week ago to discuss what we had in mind. Below is something he has come up with. Let me know what you think. I kinda like it. I suggested that something simple and elegant like the CoCo logo would be nice, and I think this fits the bill quite nicely. I told him we didn't want anything "redneckish" or Indian (check!) and he shot down some very Oklahoman icons, tornados and oil wells, for example, as to scary and too hated (given recent gas price history).<div>
