A person who improves his mentality with “Brighter Logic”. As you can see we got a head, and light improves his mentality.
ps : The kerning is normal, in my opinion if i made it tighter, it would be disturbing. thanks for the feedback though.

Hey Wassail, after your description I just want to let you know I'm not really seeing the circle as a head. It's a really abstract, and considering that circles are used all over design to represent different things I'm not sure if your idea will come across to viewers clearly.
When I saw the top orange one I thought dawn on the horizon. And the blue one reminded me of water, maybe good for the idea of clarity but not so much bright.
Hope that helps, good luck

I'd definitely need to see the brief and the concept behind it first. Personally I prefer the blue version, but that's just personal preference which can't tell help you much as it's plain aesthetic taste.
I think the logo would need some further development in terms of more character. Is the symbol still recognizable in smaller sizes or it just appears as a circle? How does it look in greyscale and black & white version?

Oh I see. I have to be honest, I also didn't realize that it was a head. I was actually under the impression that it was two logic gates stacked on top of each other and that the missing piece was a stylistic addition.
About the kerning: The thing is, it looks like the same kerning you might use when just typing a regular word. Logo kerning should be made special, either by making it tighter or spacing the letters out more than usual (the second one is often risky). You can see this in most modern logos; many of them will have tighter kerning, some will have really spaced out letters, and some will have completely contiguous letters with no spacing in between, but very few have normal kerning. I mean, technically, the word "normal" should be raising a flag all by itself. Logos are supposed to be memorable, unique, not default. I know I didn't put too much emphasis on this above, but truth be told I probably should have written that I really, really suggest tighter kerning - it's almost essential. But hey, it's up to you in the end

I would go with the blue one.
This is actually a good name where you could probably just play with the literal meaning of the words. Here is a really quick example:

Heres the gray one, and I put a small size of the icon to let you see how it looks in smaller.

@ redrum : Funny thing is many different people see the logo in different ways, sometimes I met people who see the logo in the way l meant sometimes different. About normal kerning l meant I didnt play on kerning, however this setting of kerning is great for me, because l dont like much tighter kernings. I'm really appreciated for your suggestions
@cretable : I think too its a good name however I didnt understand your example...

Today is my first day here and I really don't want to appear presumptuous so I will try and explain. I see you're from Turkey so English is maybe not your first language? If not I commend you because I am still just struggling with Spanish. Anyway, I was checking out your site and I wanted to point out that your tagline,
"Professionalism always is your job, but our ideal is designing yours!"
is worded wrong. I'm a writer/proofreader first and foremost and only an artist for fun (for now) so things like this tend to jump out at me in the same way that design issues might jump out at Chung Dha.
A reworded version could say something like,
"Professionalism is your job, so leave the designing to us!"
I think I understand where you are going with the message but the words do not convey it optimally. I hope you aren't offended and I would like to help you achieve your perfect wording if you'd like.

thanks for the comment but thats not what l wanna mean.
l mean : Professionalism is your job, but our job is designing your job/professionalism.
I dont think its wrong worded, because I asked to many british people about this sentence

anyway i quite like your design, the grident mixing colors...

Sorry but thats sounds (aggressive) its like your telling the customer "you know nothing so let us do our job" lol . you should give the customer the feeling that he is a part of the project.

white corners is the mouth, the image shows the head, the above part the brain/logic.
for the slogan, good point, thanks I will try to make it nicer.
