    Of the current choices, B is my favorite.

    I liked C, but I'd tweak it to add some simple wheels to the figures. As it is, I could potentially see someone with a sick mind looking at it and seeing something obscene.

    That would be me... Sigh.

    I like B. Simple, easy to read at a glance.

    I like B. It's just plain elegant.

    I like B and D. B is easy to "get", D is slightly more interesting. C looks kinky and A is just a little bit too busy for my taste.

    If you wanted to go with A, I'd redo the design so that the R is less out of line with the other letters, even if that would mean messing with the bikes lines. I like the bike, it's just the letters that aren't aligned that rub me the wrong way. I like the oval around the logo.

    eta: And I'd change the two T's in "fitter" (in A) to be aligned with the others too, for the same reason.

    eta2: Ok, I'm all over the place today. I actually do like D best. The G in the centre is aesthetically pleasing.

    From strictly a consumer view I prefer logos that don't require a lot of thought to figure out what it's saying. Simpler is usually better. I liked B. Have you looked at just........Gorge bike fitter (with the G having the wheel design)

    After looking and also considering the comments, I also prefer B.

    I voted before looking at the comments, but they reflected why I chose B. I did like A as a second choice.

    I like Wasp's idea, kind of a blend of B and A. Take design B and modify it so the G in Gorge is the wheel design (the way it is in A), but keep the simple, clean lettering of B. You'd need to reduce the font size of BikeFitter but I don't think that would be a problem.

    Here are some options on that line. I kept the original and played with the font on the other 3 options to try to achieve a better balance with the Wheel G.

    Nr. 2. The R lines up nicelyy with the F.

    I had no idea I had such a thing for aligned letters. Sorry :-D

    I prefer B because it's simple. C would be my second choice, but it has too much trapped white space. A and D are too hard to read, especially D -- if I hadn't seen B and C next to it, I don't know if I would have been able to figure out that one of the words is "gorge."

    Anyway that was my reaction.

    Good luck!!

    Another vote for B. Clean, simple and effective.

    One thing to consider is logo reproduction. I can see that C might have issues in readability if it were any smaller.

    I could potentially see a little figure silhouette (like one from C) overland on the wheel of B.
