the logo that everyone likes has three colors, plus a background.
Supposedly Suave wants a 1 color only logo.
In case we go back to Black and white screens.

Why can't the DealsRevealed logo be one color, just a darker and lighter shade to give three shades similar to what Cheesecake's logo exemplified?

We've learned that you are not only looking at the big picture, you are making it happen!  You're ok, don't worry.  :)

Just curious, are we really concerned that at some point we would want a logo to be black and white?

I don't think the concern is as much about us all going to black and white, it's more about scenarios where the logo may not be able to appear in more than one color yet would still need to look acceptable.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

While that does ring true when it comes to traditional branding, in our case I have a different primary reason;

The more edges, shapes, colors, shades, transparency layers, gradients and geometric vectors a logo has, the longer it takes for the human mind to process it.

Take street signs for example, imagine if there was an actual photo of people crossing the street rather than the traditional silhouette...

In that case, my .02.
There are two ways of looking at it.  You are correct that it will take more processing time, the DealsRevealed will require megaprocessing the first time.  Cool looking, but not so obvious at all.  OTOH, once a person gets it, it will remain stronger because an additional link of content/meaning was added.  A stam logo will not have that connection.

I agree
In addition, the logo includes MOVEMENT which is a stronger memory trigger than a static image.  Look at some of the new logos that are one color, but still try to include the movement variable with arrows.  (Was it Verizon that had the red arrow included?)  Look at our own Suave's avitar!

p.s. Thanks for your agreeing...but I have no likes so far... :)
