These are headed in the right direction. What Diana is really looking for is a strong wordmark-style logo, based on the BA name and integrating one or two of her organizations representative graphic elements (binoculars, camera, survey tally sheet, checkmarks, globe with continents and oceans, etc.).
Can we see some variations on 26? But with more weight, color and contrast, similar to your Run4Kenyankids?
Maybe with the lowercase "b" and "o" circles representing binoculars. Or maybe bigger circles above Birding and Aboard so that one eyepiece is above the Birding and the other is above the Aboard? That would then essentially give you one circle for a planet earth globe with oceans or what not ... and the other circle to "see" a bird in?
That would also allow you to "paint" the globe to give the overall concept more color and impact. I think the light blue and light green is a bit muted for her audience. Like the simplicity and we should definitely stay away from fine lines and gradations ... but could use some more color and contrast ... more impact.
You get the idea ... not trying to break your concept or over-direct you here. Just some ideas.
And sorry, my mistake, the sub-text needs to be ordered "Binoculars and Cameras" versus the other way around. I should have gotten that correct in the contest description!
Thank you!
