Funny story. I had been asked to design the logo for the Singapore Government's Tourism Board and I came up with 30 or something logo/branding designs for them and they chose the ones that I liked the least, and they were the ones that had absolutely nothing to do with anything they said they wanted in their logo. They were just logos for my own personal creativity.

@ Fred: Clients when given a choice, will chose the option you like the least.

I agree that this was an excellent use of the proper design process. You even went out of your way to get involved in the community to ensure a successful design. Is there a reason you don't show the client multiple options? I tend to do so to ease the decision making process, but that's me.

Very cool! I find logo design and branding so interesting. I try to have a unique logo designed for each of my main sites.

Great logo, It seems green (the craze among businesses these days) and industrial. Nice

Thanks Andy.

@ JamieO: I didn't show anything but the final to the client. I don't normally show clients multiple options unless they ask.

Good summary of the design process. How many of the design variations did you show to client(s) for feedback as far as potentials? I tend to feel like I put so much creative energy into that step.
