<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p>and thank you Meg. <br>
<br>
I have the impression that the two options propose different
objects, like in the first one there are more options for logos,
in the second there is a style for potential visualizations? The
two proposals do not look "symmetrical". <br>
<br>
I really appreciate the designer's conceptual starting point (from
pixelled to rounded) and I like the arrows thingy in logo Option
2. </p>
<p>Some critical comments, but of course this is just my opinion. I
did not find the palettes convincing; if I had to chose one I'd go
for Palette number 4 in Option 1, because I think it brings
together some "earthy" colours with some "cyberpunk" colours,
which is a bit what I envisioned. In logo number 1, the O of
DATAGOV looks like a bit like a U. <br>
<br>
Anyway, I am happy to participate to the meeting with the designer
to discuss these and more ideas together :) </p>
<p>Thanks again, </p>
<p>Best, <br>
Giulia</p>
