I just had a thought... you should try making the straight lines or the 'C' more rounded and ending closer to each other. If that makes any sense w/out me sketching it.

It is a cool concept but proper for people not knowing the brand they can't reed it. Readability is a big issue making the logo work. What I see is Wa=Dm.

My entry cause I use a tablet pc I get this view in my head and see it on the screen too. The arrow always under the pen, and the pen is the arrow. So the shadow of the pens is the arrow.

"C" is a hard one to do an amalgram of itself. More so than an equal sign, I was thinking of ways to represent the sound itself in other languages which is where I decided to use that. It's more a representation of the japanese sound for "ko" which takes on the symbol "こ". I'll think of some more ideas and see if I can get that readability level up for ya.

Stroking or outlining text is a big no no unless you make the stroke very big,because when you scale the size smaller the outline could disappear. The pen and brush look odd, the brush is sheered a bit and the brush shape need to look at what people generally does illustrating a brush head.

It is actually a bit reddish magenta.

Not a bad logo but still need to have the name added. Maybe some playing around more with the colors. The pink and beige isn't much of a good combination.
Revised my first design the font want really that good. The W and the A in it were not that good aligned with each other. Now choose a font that bit close to the new logo made by Wolf Olins. And the colors were bit dark and kind of negative. Now it is brighter in a light gray and small detail the ® added.

I am impressed with a lot of these logos, more so than any contest I have seen. Too bad it isn't for big money, or being used for real. I went to wacom's website, that logo bounces all over the screen. It is terrible in my opinion, what were they thinking? Great contest. It would be great if wacom's people got to look at all of these logos. They won't keep that new one forever, why would they?

Their logo bouncing around on their website reminded me of one of those really old school screensavers, the colors and the movement are so similar.
Wacom probably paid a lot for the redesign, so it'll stick around for awhile.

zooley, the perspective is a bit weird. And the gray gradient + outlines are not very strong points too. Well, the only thing I can say is that this requires more work...
aurellius, though we don't see it if we don't think about it, but I think the hidden "ko" is a good idea. But I agree that "C" is very hard to make an ambigram of. However, try to play some more with the concept, maybe you will come up with ways to make the "C" more readable.

@ aurellius, I think the idea of using the japanese characters is interesting as well. However, I think you have to make it more recognizable as the character こ. At the moment it looks a more like kana character ni, ニ .

I love that logo aurellius
could be an equal sign
or the chinese for 2, er =
but it's not
obvious what it is
once you know what it is
a logo that questions things are good
obvious logos not as fun
if that makes sense

I am not sure if it is intentional to make the W standalone but it make people to read W Acom. Making the W standalone in the name it self isn't that good idea, it is better to make a logo of the W next to the name like M of mcdonald. Only few it works but not all, mostly depends on readability of the logo.
It is funny idea but don't think it help making the reflection to be straight and the normal be rough drawn helps. And the rough font is bit childish looking font or company. I think Wacom should be less on textual only but more on graphical need a graphic element in the form of a illustration.
And Anyone got comment on my design? I keep commenting other though what could be improved.

I like your logo, but I think just like my logo it misses some ZING. I just cant place it.. My favorite part is where the cursor arrow is below the pen mirror style. I dig that alot. Maybe a bolder type color?
