#6 I like the simple shield design. I also like the black, white, and gray contrasts. The lack of gradients is good. This is the top choice. It flows very nicely as I asked for. I like the 'crossed swords' on top behind the shield rather than in front as it is in #15. GREAT JOB! #15 This is nice for the same reasons. I am not a fan of gradients and shadows but that can be fixed. I like the overlapping black and gray of #6 more than the separated black and gray sections of #15 #5 This is another good entry. Good work with the vector surround.
I'm going to be away from Logo Tournament until Monday, but I will check in on this contest. I will be able to see any messages, but I can't make any changes until I'm back at work. I just wanted to let you know.
Just so you know the new entries in the top slots are in favor for including more oldschool heraldry yet blending it with the vector bits. I still prefer the way your logo flows outward though. It is a very tough decision!
I added in some more traditional elements. I can put the reflections and shading on the crest if you wish, or make other changes that you request. Thanks
Excellent entry again. I am happy with it, but since the majority of the entries were just axed by logo court I may extend the deadline. The only thing (and we may be getting nitpicky here) is the scroll in the background, it can go if it's a separate layer and easily removable. This contest may be over very soon, keep up the good work.
