Like this, you mean?

Not sure if you want to go in this direction, but I wanted to try to play off of the "history" part...

[xpressions]

Thank you. Here it is in a slightly different color scheme and with effects applied:

 

[Spade]

Xpressions, I like the new design, but not the color scheme, Im still iffy on the hour glass, I like it... but Im not sure how well it translates to "history", but it is slowly growing on me. and I think as of right now you are the favorite, but just barely (dont get too comfy!)

Skinny, Your first submission, 2nd font was my favorite, but the "NB" in a circle, just isnt cutting it...I think we need to come up with something "different" or new... I would love to see the NB aspect kind of flow or grow into the domain....

Koncepts, your first logo is good, the 2nd with the NB and Arrow, im not a big fan of. I'd like to see it pop off the page a little more and be more bubble like... remember, web2.0

Zenius, I like the logo and even the color pattern. but the NB in a square, just doenst look or feel right to me.... Id love to see maybe a large NB in the background, behind the actual words namebio.... or perhaps a alteration to the NB square...

umxca, I'll be honest, this isnt the direction we want to take NameBio in... this is a little too "space" feeley. We want a more rounded fresh logo.

Southern, I do like your updated design, but as of right now its just "par" or ok... Id love for it to jump off the page a bit more.

Thank you for the feedback. I closely relate the hourglass with history: As an expression (the sands of time), and because it's an old tool for time. I won't get "comfy", however, should you decide on the concept, I can revise the colors. Cheers!

 

[Skinny]

This concept shows the history side of it. (a growing repetoire of sales or the growth of sales as time increases)

Thats not too bad skinny. Can we see it in a few colors and possible expand on the concept? I am liking it, but I still think xpressions is holding down the fort.

Killing some more time with Illustrator.....

How about this angle; putting some kind of a chart looking graphic next to the name to suggest that namebio.com provides domain name sales data....

Just avoiding real work here on a Friday afternoon.....

Here is another version:

Ok, sorry for not commenting this weekend yet, Been out of town (still am!) but Ill try to give a heads up on what I like and didnt.

FIco, very unique design, I like it a lot, but the "bio" is difficult to read, and may be difficult for visitors to read... Maybe clean this up a little?

Koncepts, the design is so/so - the lettering is ok, but the art next to the logo just isnt cutting it for us.

Tetsuya, Not quite what were looking for. definetly a more rounded, stand out logo.

SouthernEssence, the stars in your latest logo, dont make sense for our company, the print is good, but the actual art is lacking.

Gubera, the designs dont stand out enough to us, the artwork next to the writing doesnt seem to quite fit... perhaps incorporating graphs or charts direclty into the writing, would look better?

ZeniusIVanisher, we like the text a lot, and eve the 3 circles looks nice, but it seems a bit plane, lacking... perhaps incorporate them better into the actual writing?
