Description
Just for clarification, the title is underscored so as not to detract search results from the real client.Anyways, this client's property is a social network focused on using location technology to bring people together. The mark incorporates two symbols to communicate this message: 1) The talk bubble (socializing) and 2) A map tack/pointer (location). The two shapes compliment each other and create a recognizable mark.
Fonce Sans Pro was specifically requested to be incorporated into the logotype, which I modified a bit to work better at the larger size (fonce sans pro is originally designed to work well at small sizes, and when blown up certain parts can look odd).

I wonder how would it look in one colour / monochrome ?
e.g. for stamps ?

The non-symmetical highlight (?) in the speech bubble is kind of bothersome. Also, this is a speech bubble logo. You should read this article if you haven't already: [link] The guy might not be a designer but I think he has a point. I do think you're off to a good start with the general concept though.

I've read this already and I agree that there are too many talk bubble logos, but I don't agree that the symbol is wrong just for being overused. A good number of the logos on that page are using a bubble shape for no good reason.

How it works with the typo in black and background white?

Works just fine. I designed it in both black on white, and white on black. However, the primary use will be as I've displayed it here.

the idea is there but I don't think that's the spot for the speech bubble. Use the space in the x to integrate the graphics with the type better. Something like this: [link]

indeed. i think it was the green that just triggered the thought of it. it's not to say it looks like the logo they have.

I think this is what Krugon was saying what I'm about to but I'm not sure! Sorry if s/he did!
The top of the pointed part of the map tack isn't following the edge of the green circle. I find it calls too much attention away from the rest of this simple and effective logo. Perhaps if it followed the green circle, it would be less distracting?
It looks great though and I love the tack inside the talk bubble.

I like it, but the curve of the pointer looks a little odd next to the green circle with that curvature, maybe you could change it a little bit so that both curves are "concentric"?
PS: Sorry about my English but it's not my native language.

I don't know about this, I like the white typo and the map tracker. But I don't like the black background and bubble on this one. Don't know why.

Great idea on the combination of the speak bubble and the map tracking bit.

DAMN! That's just great! I usually don't fav logos, but it would be a crime not to fav this one!
Cheers
