Hi bsnc, thanks for the feedback. I took a look at your current website and logo before I began and after reading your brief, I assumed (correctly, thank goodness) you were looking for a totally different approach. The design in #1 is a simplified measuring tape, which I chose because of its significance in monitoring drastic body changes.
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond, but I'm a little unclear as to where to go from here. Do you have any other ideas that would give me something to work in some changes from? As a fellow NC resident, I was naturally drawn to your contest and would really love to help your practice portray the image your staff has clearly worked so hard to build. Thanks again.
