I think so, too. Under these thoughts I like the following logos best:
filip-1.jpg idsfa-3.jpg sfax-3.jpg villate-1.jpg
grumbel-1.gif ivana-0.gif tomi-0.gif villate-2.jpg
idsfa-0.jpg japp-3.gif villate-0.gif
I don't want to prefer a special one of them, but I like the ideas
and the realisation of these ideas. OK, I prefer the orca idea but
the other ones could fit my expectations to a logo (possibly after
some overwork).
Kind regards
Andreas.
