Entry #1 is our favorite of the ones you posted.Can you play with a few variations of the ACADEMY - closer to the #2 entry? While we marked #2 not interested, we do like the ACADEMY part of it (instead of the orange on #1)

The cute yellow star / sun (with the glow in #8) is great also.

God job - we look froward to a few more renditions of #1.

here are a couple of ideas .... (just brainstorming to bring in more Preschool like ...)

how about a child's face inside the star center (the circle part)?

and the tag line is missing from #1. While the text will probably change, we still need a placeholder for it.

Thanks - these are a great start.

I will submit some more ideas in the morning.
Thanks for your comments on my designs.

Here are some more variations on #1

(This comment references Entry #24)

#28 wanted to throw in a different shape of the whole logo into my mix of samples. Please let me know if you want to see something else or different color combinations.
Thank You Kerri

is there anything you would like to see changed on # 28
