Couple of thoughts passing through the void between my ears: Reminded of the story of changing water into wine (changing investment income into human nourishment). Feet smashing grapes? Wine press? Pouring water from a clay pot into hands and the liquid changes color (to wine red) as it reaches the hands? Something else might be within this.
Liking this. Too many colors however. Perhaps you can reduce the colors and reverse the logo so that the receiving hand is on the right rather than the left.
168 Four colors (on some submissions) is too many. The goal is two colors but we could go three if necessary. Let's omit the orange color and try other options.
Another design thought: Put the single hand above the Ventures and the cupped hands below the Altru with the liquid passing through the name in some manner. If you think this might appear well, let's see what I will look like.
You're in the top 6. Actually top 3. One judge has suggested that there should be a bit more separation between the "U" and the wine. You might also suggest a couple of different color combinations that compliment the burgundy wine color.
Thanks for considering me in the top 3. Please see revised entries and let me know if you want any changes. Also let me know if you want to see any particular color combination.
This shows the wine color (and the water) originating from the upper hand. Is there a way where you could show just the water coming from the upper hand and it changing to wine along the way?
You will win this contest because, primarily, you take and follow direction. So many others completely disregard the will of the consumer - conveying that they don't bother to eve read the directional comments.
