@Tinderbox : I looked at your portfolio of other logos and see that you have done a lot of excellent work. For my contest though, so far I have not seen any logos that I like more than logo #13 which is currently ranked as #1. I'm told there is a way to end the contest early, and I would like to do that, but can't find the link. Thanks for your time and effort on my contest.
Hi CH. Thanks for your kind comment about my work. The logo you have in first place is a very nice one and will prove difficult to better. If you like it enough then by all means end the contest early. I will submit one last design to give you something to think about, just in case you should change your mind.
Tinderbox: #29 is an improvement, but I still prefer #13. I've bumped you up to third place so that the top three designs are each from different designers, and so that you'll get some points. #29 kind of reminds me of the Canadian Tire logo:
Thanks RetroMetro_Steve, and thanks CH for ranking my design. It encourages us designers to carry on and do better. I see what you mean about the tire logo. I'd never seen it before. :0)
