Along with graphical redesign, bring a mobile friendly site. And good index and search functions.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

#2 reminds a little of TD Bank.
I see what you mean.

"I don't like any" should be one of the options :-[.

Also, the lack of an apostrophe is really glaring. (See this FT thread for an example roast on this subject.)

Actually legally we had to drop the apostrophe and make it one word, but that doesn't mean the logo has to be line that.

That's interesting. Could you elaborate? Was it just a matter of what the secretary of state allows for a business name, or is there more to it?

1 if I was forced to choose. Maybe do like the LA Chargers and tell us these aren't the final designs.

Just adding my voice:

*Dan's Deals.
None of the logos.
For a tagline, I'd avoid "curated", even though I understood it without the definition, and incorporate the other aspects of the blog. E.G:

Deals, Points and (kosher) Travel.
Or:
Mileage, travel, and deals every day

Lol, I haven't seen any of these logos or slogans until right now.
Not a fan of any, so you don't have much to worry about.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Although I don't like any of them , I would like to point out that the actual words Dansdeals on the 3rd option has some uniquness. But it's not as clear as the other ones.

Maybe Dan can run a contest who can come up with the best logo, I'm sure there a handful of graphic designers on here.

Also, people in it, have a much better feeling of what a logo should look like then some random graphics artist.

All three designs are very typical double letter concepts.

I'm sure that you're aware of the fiverr concept as well.

I'll echo what others wrote:
1. All three are - no offense - fugly, even the existing (DD back to back) is better than those.
2. There should be a none-of-the-above option in the poll. 1 and 3 definitely resemble beatz
3. There should be a contest with DDMS voting, a prize would be nice (you can exclude DDF mods if you'd like, I don't have an eye for design anyway :D)
4. Is DDMS getting a facelift as well? Very exciting!
5. What's the full scoop on the legality of the apostrophe?

https://www.fiverr.com/

I've used http://www.zilliondesigns.com/ and was very satisfied. From the looks of it with fiverr you choose the designer who then designs for you. With zilliondesigns a bunch of designers submit their designs for you to choose from.

Zillion sounds like a better concept. Fiverr is like you said you pick your designer beforehand.
