Hello, Thank you for your entry and WELCOME to our logo contest!!!
Of your two entries, we prefer #37 over #36. We like your use of the deconstructed lotus as well as putting in a rose / rosetta in the middle. However, our general feedback is that we prefer more complexity, perhaps adding another element, two or three from the brief. Can we see some versions with more complexity and additional design elements woven in with the same level of seamlessness and elegance? In #37, the tulip leaves point outwards very strongly. While we like this, it has the unintended effect of looking like crab claws if you just shift your view to every other tulip leaf. Is there a way we could see versions that either A) soften this by perhaps turning the leaf points upwards, or opening them a bit apart, or B) tightening the outer circle so it joins with the tulips and soften the effect.
Please post new entries / versions in the gold on black color per the revised brief.
Lastly, we like the mirror effect in entry #36… we actually have this on our website now.
