Or many instead of the suit/tie, we embrace noir and break out the trenchcoats.

if you want to get a feel for what a few of the logos i've posted so far look like in practice, i currently have my script set up to rotate through them randomly

I might try making all of the I that's within the magnifying glass red.

Shoot for the moon, miss and land among stars, though

"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

yeah, cool idea, although i don't know if it really turned out great. i think there's something elegant about the single red dot in the magnifying glass, personally

don't think that's a massive problem, think even without the symbolism it looks good personally

I like the whole thing better, but not all the letters, ruins the symbolism.

The flat top on the M looks a little weird to me. Could also experiment with the magnifying glass being at an angle (the handle angled away from the s).

previews:
I like #3 the best. The drop shadows on 1 and 2 are distracting, but an all matte design with no lines on #3 is very neat looking. Have you toyed with having the dot above the i being centered in the Lens? This way it draws more focus

i think that both the drop shadow being distracting and wanting the i centered come from looking at a zoomed in view and are made a lot less relevant at the more zoomed out view the logo would typically take
no drop shadow really also only works with 3's style of text coloring because you need something to define the magnifying glass as separate from the text

Yeah, you're right. I zoomed my browser out to 33.3%, it definitely translates a lot better at a smaller size. I like the aesthetic of the i being in red under the glass, you found the suspicious person. Really good stuff.

imo that wouldnt work, either the lens would have be tiny to look more like a lowercase i or the i dot would look huge in a way that would kind of distract from everything else? like a really huge pimple

the text and magnifying glass being the same color will decrease legibility when it is small

Good point. Knowing what it already says makes it easier to fill in.
