Can you submit a Red, White and Blue version the you Entry #37?
I think this move will put you even closer to contest winner.
Is possible for you to make the bagels look more like variety of bagels (ex: one cheese bagel, one oat bagel, one sesame bagel etc.)? I think that would give you image that additional "pop".
#53 is red, white and blue with a variety of bagels including cheese, sesame seed, poppy seed, blueberry and pumpernickel :) Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see?
Thank you so much for choosing my design! I will prepare the final files and upload them to LT shortly. Through LT you will receive an eps of the winning logo along with several jpg files. If you need any other files types, I will be happy to send them to you via email once the LT files have been approved.
