I like the initial emblem and writing. Color is a little to bright. Any chance to incorporate an F into the symbol. Not sure if that will make it too busy, but I would like to see what you can do with it.
Please send a private note to the designer you are referencing per forum guidelines. I like the logo on 25 in conjuction with the A in 26. Scratch my request to incorporate the F as it appears to busy now. Would also like a more gold color instead of yellowish green.
I apologize for the miscommunication. I meant that I liked the font used in entry 24 incorporating the "A" into the name with the symbol now being used in entry 31. I like the gold hue in ranking #1. I really like how it has a little sheen like highly polished gold.
Have you resolved your "copyright" issue w/ the other designer. Can you try something two tone in the A. I like the three "arm" that cross the A in example one and the utilization of the two tones. I think his version of your original design stands out a little better. Maybe try a non conforming A angle up top. Some crossing lines (similar to japanese figures) although I'm not going for an Eastern motiffe. Try something without straight lines on the upstroke and downstroke. Be bold in the strokes. Try to make the A not so coforming. I'm sorry if this is confusing, but I'm not an artist.
