1) LLC not LCC
2) Like the richer blues like in #9 and #6
3) Would like to attempt to integrate a combined Mountain AND Waterfall theme into logo at the risk it may appear too busy

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: http://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion.
~~ When you provide feedback to designers, you increase the chances of getting the logo you want. More feedback = better results!
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested." We'd like to know what you don't want so we can give you the design you do want.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked 1st - 10th. We like to earn points.
~~ The first phase of the contest is the "Open" phase, and everyone can submit during that time.
~~ After your contest's initial "Open" phase closes, it will enter the "Top 5" phase; only the top 5 ranked designers will be able to submit revisions at that time.
~~ The "Top 5" designers are the first 5 designers in a contest, not the first 5 designs.
~~ When "Top 5" ends, the "Judging" phase begins. The designer of the 1st place design will be the only designer who can submit revisions at that time.

1) Please change name to: Cascade Partners LLC
2) Graphic should be on left side (not on top) like in Molotoff's logo
3) Like slightly "richer" blues...but not overly so

Design Team:

We have re-ranked the logos submitted with a focus on the specific designers that we like best, and not necessary on the specific logo's. In other words, there are many we like and have not ranked.

....and those that we have ranked are in no particular order. There are simply too many good choices to effectively convey a rank at this time.

Thanks to all of you for your efforts!

Bordo,

You have won (#112), amoung what were a great many wonderful designs.

We would like you to make few modest adjustment if you would be so kind:
1) Please remove the "LLC" after PARTNERS.
2) We are concerned in the event we (or our clients) print our the logo in BW (Black and white) that the colors will not be quite as pleasing. Can you make an attempt to make the logo more visually appealing in BW?
3) The letters and/or the image could be slightly larger, and it might look better (to our untrained eye :-))
4) Could you give us a few alternatives with the swoosh/"c" at the bottom of the image. We love it, but are wondering if there might be an alternative that will look as appealing
5) We would also like to see the option of having lines on either side of PARTNERS, like:
"-------- PARTNERS ------"; we leave it to you pick the best way to do this.

Please advise.

We appreciate working with you.

Best Regards,
Lauren
