Logo options

We have evolved the current logo to better suit the Creative Content brand as it is now, and have a few logo concepts for your consideration.

We have made a recommendation on the style we think best encompasses the Creative Content brand. Note that the actual artwork is still draft and if we select one of these, it will be perfected.
