I agree that the flower mark is perilously close to Walmarts. But even if it weren't, the silhouette of the price tag is fantastic on it's own. The flower seems unncessary. I like the negative space it would leave behind.
Would the angled edges of the price tag look better if they were parallel with the left and top edges of the dark square background (vertical, horizontal)?
I love the shadow cast by the ring on the price tag, just to the left of the ring. Can the same happen in reverse? Can the pricetag's punched out hole cast a shadow on the ring as it passes through?
Is the ring (or loop of string) pulled taut or pleasantly loose? As it is now, it looks like both, at different points. It looks taut as it passes though the punched hole, but loosely looped towards the top of the logo.
Really good feedback, Jared. The flower (which is something I wasn't thinking) was to indicate a "Click" since the site has that in the title. But, I agree, as I was trying to reach too much to incorporate the site name in the mark, I lost the simplicity.
I'll try to to line the edges up, but I'm afraid that it would look too boxed in, but maybe not.
Yes, there will be more detail with color, shadows and texture. But just for the basic trademark, I want make everything in one or two colors and then add details when that is nailed down.
Good thinking on the loop tightness, I'll tweak that.

I'm looking for feedback for this logo mark. Worry not, Color/texture/etc. will be added later.

Is it for Wal Mart? That's the first thing that came to mind. I like the styling, but the logo itself totally looks like Wal Mart's logo.

:) No it isn't, But that is a good thought. I'll have to rework it some.
