The only one of those logos that has a reasonable typeface is the 'Flik Flak' logo.

- 'The eye' has completely illegible lettering

- 'The connector' has a ugly 'i' that's out of alignment with the other letters and the 'z' and 'a' are ugly

- All the all capitals logos have so little personality

- I can't describe what I don't like about the 'Open Button' type face. Just that the Flik Flak one looks much cleaner.

- With 'Flik Flak' the spacing between the 'l's and around the dot of the 'i' are equal. The 'o' is a circle (just makes me think of SVG).

I guess though the Flik Flak font was just too boring for them. Too close to Helvetica - I guess is is just Helvetica with a modified 'o'

Even the slightly crazy logo they had to go 'Flik Flak' is growing on me, looks alright on t-shirts [1]. Reminds me of the indie game 'Monument Valley' [2]
