Help me pick my logo

So as I start out, I wanted a professional logo to help present the professional image. I went with a company called LogoMojo out of Canada. I bought the package for 6 designs, and I get unlimited revisions until I am happy with the logo. We picked blue and green because that is me and my wife's favorite colors. Below are the 6 initial concepts that they presented to us. Please vote on which one you like the best. My last poll had like 151 views and 4 responses (I was one of them.)

We'll call this #1




#2




#3



#4




#5





#6




Thanks for the help you've given me thus far!

I vote for number 3.

Thank you sir!

I voted for #1 and here's why:

1. I like simpler graphics, that's just my preference.
2. With simpler graphics (2 colors, less detail, etc) it is much easier to transfer to different media. It may look great on a computer, but how does it look on a window, flyers, t-shirts, etc? How does it look in black and white? Although I'm not a graphic designer, I never liked messing around with gradients on graphics. It never came out the way I liked it when printed.
3. Two colored graphic would give you a basic color theme for your business, and an extra option that just one color.


I also liked #6, but maybe change the arrows and the "o" to the green color.

Number 3 cool and simple

Thanks for your help guys! What we are considering now is a hybrid. We'd like to mix the words & stripes from #3 and the triangle logo from #4. We agree that...

So I think were going to have the ends of the triangle design fixed and all colors be solid.

In my opinion I like number 3 and 6 because they are simple and to the point. The first two at first glance i had to look twice to find the first "E" in Electrowaste. 4 and 5 are confusing with all those arrows and cord ends.

I'm going with #2. The recycle arrows are a little more subtle and non-traditional and it's not too busy, not too plain, but juuuussst right.
Also, the "e" reminds me of the logo for a product I designed one time. Found a copy thru google images:

#3 Simple plain and to the point! I could go with number 2, but not with out choosing number 3 first

I was told many years ago that any logo you chose should look great black on a white background. If it looks great that way, it'll look even better in the proper color scheme. I have followed this simple tip I over the years and we were always complemented on our logos/branding.
Having said all that, I think #3 would be my choice.

number 3. i almost picked number one but the cords in the ''e'' is confusing on the eyes.

Wow guys. Three would've not been the on that I choose left to my own devices. Thanks for the help! I think we are using #3 now but the arrows aren't right. The won't work with embroidery. I wrote them an e-mail and asked for #3 (no color gradient) but a redesign of the arrows. I'll post their revision here and I welcome your criticism. I want to get it right before I finalize the design because after that it cost more $$$. I'm listening to what you'll say... No gradients, crisp and clear, looks good in black and white, etc.
