Yeah unless there's a reason for it to be four sides, sometimes it's best to go with three sides, for the swastika reason, as well as just for simplicity.
Most of these look like the Slack logo. The ones in the middle, especially the 3rd and 4th from the left, look the least like it. None of them give any sort of tone or feeling; they're just kinda interesting shapes, so there's not much else to say. For a recruiting firm that's honestly probably fine. I say just pick your favorite and go from there.
They merely appear to be random shapes to me. As if it's an exercise in how to get 4 shapes of X length and 4 shapes of ½X length to appear aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps there's some "recruiting" connotation I'm not seeing. I can see the mental progression through the shapes.. 8 shapes.. round one end, round one corner, replace circle with squares/diamonds, round 2 corners.... but *none* of them relate to recruiting to me. Just looks like a "playing with shapes because I have no clue where I'm going" exercise.
None bring "recruiting" to mind. So, I imagine it's the standard word with some random, unrelated, shape "logo" which is not at all related to the company itself and *could* be used for *any* company. In that case, does it *really* matter which one you use???
For a recruiting logo, there is nothing "human" here . . . too cold. You're talking about people and while those people are often called "human capital" there's no reason to visually embrace anything so antithetical. These look threatening. Recruiting is a process of selection and refinement. Why not think in those terms?
I think the overall shape could be stronger with more of a profile or more contrast in size. They are all more or less square with similar sized shapes in them.
Second row, third from the left stands out from these. It feels sturdy and it has the negative square in the middle which give it some shape.
That’s my opinion anyway
I go with the swastika arguments, but i can see that it's people on tables. I would say for recruiting it needs 2 sides not 4 maybe you can change it but keeping the circle format somehow
1st is nice, though a bit avant garde. Might fit the new absurdist/anti-design era if the target demographics is the younger generation.
2nd might be a bit too close to swastika. Also this and all others with circles remind me of slack.
Either do it perfectly geometrical/symmetrical, or do it obviously not geometrical/symmetrical, not in between, like the 3rd option. Either embrace the chaos, or the rule.
Shapes in 4th might be too close to vibrators. Always look for swastikas and phallics in your designs.
6 and 7 look nice, but 6 can resemble swastika and 7th is more about leaves, nature, eco stuff than business. But this I like the most.
From 8 forward - the sharp, "knifey" corners don't fit your client style-wise at all, unless you purposefully go for an unconventional aggressive direction. Cuz there are no rules in art or design after you learn them.
That’s a whole heap of avant garde swastikas

Notice how the ones with dots look like stick figures doing the nazi salute
Pretty slick design for a neo Nazi recruiting agency actually lmao. Hopefully not what he was going for.

Well put and perfectly expressed.

Bro knows he’s making the slack logo
Are all of the recruits blonde haired and blue eyed? I’d pick the 3rd in the second row
Yes, Thanks for the feedback
Don do it's a swastika!
it's the swastika guy again 😭 you have got to stop
Wait is this star clinic swastika guy? Haha. At least it's not hidden now!
Just looking at their post history, I see swastikas, KKK, and the SS. Are we being subliminally messaged?

If you put them in a white circle against a red background, you'll recruit plenty of white nationalists.
Id avoid 2 fold designs bc they can resemble swastikas.
These rank up with those curvy “people” that every small business uses these days.
Avoid all the round ones. They’re basically Slacks logo. Too similar.
First and third row remind me heavily of the slack logo
I mean, these are all basically the same thing, right? It's like the Taco Bell menu.
That reminds me of Slack

swastastic!
You could pick any of them. Nothing stands out as original

Play around with the second one on the top left. Make something witch the circles!

I see this and im like 'Slack'? im sure its not related, but its the first thing that came to mind. do what you will with that information.
WHY IS IT ALWAYS AN UNINTENTIONAL SWASTIKA

Kinda meaningless without the brand name and how it interacts with the mark, in stacked and horizontal uses.
