Help, I need to choose a logo for a design and machining "company" i want to start.
I have two logos to choose from, but i don't know which.
I put them into a mock up business card just to put them into perspective.
Should I go for the 2D or the 3D version?
Please let me know,
Aleks.

I'd say it depends on your intended audience. The 3d looks more stylish while the 2d looks more industrial and utilitarian. It also could be a quention of quality vs. quantity. The 3d style is more tailored to a higher end customer IMO.
If I had to pick, I'd probably go 2-d but the thin horizontal line in the NAME of the company is too thin in contrast to the logo I think.

2D allot nice IMO
it looks alot more clean cut and "professional" than the 3d one. i think the 3D reminds me of cheesy logos that are overly used |

Have you considered doing a double sided card. They are so cheap these days and you'll have a less cluttered look.
Place your logo, what you do, your name and title (President/Ceo) on the front and all the contact info on the flip side.
 
Just some quick ideas and possible options.

i like the 2d better - and might have the line under the company NAME attach to the tip of the L in the logo

My preference is the 2D version, however, I agree the separating line should be thicker, about the thickness of the narrow section in the logo font.
I disagree about the upscale comments earlier. The 2D has a more graphic design feel and less the feel of a lesser budget software font.

i'd actually opt to have more info on one side of the card and make the logo/heading fit nicely into a corner. the 3d effect likely wouldn't work for this. i would stick with a one sided card - maybe make the back side slick print black and the front textured ink...
put opposites together in a symbiotic sense.

| Well, considering that it's a machining company, I like the 3D better. It shows in a subtle way the precision with which the parts of the logo are fitted together. . . . or maybe I'm reading way too much into it. :) |

| Sorry, but I have to go against the grain with others because the 3-D SCREAMS cheesy. The 2-D looks better IMO. |

| 2D is good and bold. Sturdy looking. - the half-tones of the 3D version will be hard to deal with in many printing applications. |

So I guess the 2D has the lead...
Any objections? |

I'd say, flip a coin. Both look good as long as you take my sage advice on the two sided thang...
I always associate engineering with complexity, so I'd go with the most complex looking of the two. |
