firstly thank you again for the invitation to enter my designs. After much thought,sketching and reading of your brief a few times I set out to create an abstract mark symbolic of a nation coming together with a vision for the future. I have two entries because I liked them both and couldn't decide which I preferred. They are both representations of your idea to rebuild and re-unite America. I hope you like them. I am eager to hear your thoughts. (in the interests of time i have not entered a vertical or grayscale version however should you like my design I can submit them on request. Logo tournament allows any first place entrant to submit variations during the judging period).
