I like entry #2 but without the graphic. If you can incorporate my tagline "Don't go hungry...find airport food." and the abstract on #1 I'd like to see that.
It's 2 leaves meant to hint that the 'e' is also an orange or some other fruit. In #11 I made it one leaf to give more clarity and in #12 I removed the graphic as requested
Oh, I see it now, but I prefer the design without the leaf. Also, when I enlarge the logo, the colors loose intensity and there is some black speckling. The other submissions don't seem to do that. Why?
I'm not sure. Maybe it's because of the size/quality of the image. When the file is compressed, loss of pixels can take place. Not a big problem though as the final files you receive at the end of the contest will be high resolution JPEG and .EPS (which can be reproduced at any size without any loss of detail/quality)
Yeah. I'm trying to add that element to the design that will make it original and easily identified. The "squiggle" represents steam coming from a warm meal or beverage. I think it works well in #15. Nice and subtle - Unique enough to be noticed but not bright enough to pull attention away from the rest of the mark.
