Dear Roma -- please forgive us for taking so long! It has been very challenging to make a final choice.
#50 is our favorite. This is my first time with logo tournament, and i don't know if we are able to ask for changes at this point -- if not, don't worry. BUT... if we are allowed to ask: most importantly, could you show us design
#50 with no distressing, just solid letters? That's the main thing to try. It would be helpful to see it with just that change.
We are also considering making it similar to
#43, white letters on a dark or maroon background - could we also, in addition, see another version that way?
And finally -- please ignore this if i'm not supposed to ask these kind of things at this point, or if these requests feel inappropriate to you -- we wonder if we could see one with a different design element in the drum besides the zig-zag line.... Something less child-like, and more sophisticated and adult-like.
As mentioned, we do not want to offend you or ask too much, so please accept our heartfelt thanks for bringing it this far, and all the things you have tried for us!
