Development stages …
Logo development stage 1 ... feedback - 100% nope - hard no. The Naughties called and want their logos back.
Logo development stage 2 (me working on a more freedom/energy style) ... feedback - still nope. Stop designing logos and think about how the brand should FEEEEEEEL!
Logo development stage 3. More masculine, more powerful. ... feedback - errr, nope! What did I say last time?

Final branding concept …
Moodboard - how does the brand feel?
Brand board - how do other brands who serve the same customer look?
