I polled a large group of my friends and your design #33 ranked very highly. Higher than I had put it. I like #157 best for the lettering of all elements. Try putting a pretty, readable V or Q there and move the Cab Sav to the lower section and the 2009 below that. Lastly, I like the swirls but what is the meaning for them. Plants tend to sprout and grow in Fibonaci sequence can you come up with a design that progress in that order. Think of top down look of a sunflower. http://www.soulsofdistortion.nl/SODA_chapter5.html
or maybe these circly figures could be composed of styalized Vs or Qs. Progressing through a change of colors like the ripening of a grape (veraison). If you try this, grapes are green while growing, once they start veraison, they rapidly change color to red before and progress to a deep color for a few weeks before fully ripe. (if we have even progression on the coloring, it will be too green.
Lastly, I have my contest ranked into deciles. Each group of 10 is a it's own "contest". 1-10 is 1st choice of a unique design, 11-20 is 2nd choice in the same design. So if you find yourself 1 &11, it does not follow that 11 is my 11th choice. Hopefully that is clear.
the swirl is indeed composed of different kind of V's - i'm glad you noticed, because I thought no one would recognize hence i didnt mention that aspect before. same can also be applied to Q's of course. arranging the swirl in a fibonacci spiral is a great suggestion - will try to do so tonight!
hello, here my newest entries. i have opened the swirl a bit, so that the "V" will be easier to recognize. I tried to construct the fibonacci spiral - but unfortunately i was unable to make it look good. hope these will be liked nonetheless. any more feedback is very welcome. =)
#187-#190 - I like the simplicity of all these designs. I can now see the Vs in 187. there are some small tweaks I can think for 187 if I want to progress on this design. But let me have a think. Slightly prefer #190 with the colour variation in the middle.
btw - I think Mathamatica has a entry level program that can create geometric patterns.
