Boardwalk GamingLogo Design Contest

All, please do NOT use the name "Boardwalk Gaming" in the logo. That is the parent Company name.
Use "Rock" or Granite" in the logo design as one of those will be the name of the restaurant / Lounge

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage more participation.
~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered.
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you are going to see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested"
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ At contest close you will need to have 3 different designers ranked in the top three positions.
~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

1st place - 50 points
2nd place - 20 points
3rd place - 10 points
4-6th place - 5 points
7-10 place - 3 points
10th on - 1 point

I will be away from the computer until Sunday evening, I will rank and provide comments then,
Thanks,
Happy designing...

#4 & 5
Can you look at putting the word "The" in front of both these names. Granite needs more color, I like the climbers, you might want to change to a few women as they are a large demographic of the climbing group.
"Rock" is quite simple and I am not sure if that is the way it needs to be
I would like to see what adding the words "Bar & Grille" in small text after both of these would also do
Thanks

#6,7, 8, A suggestion has been made to make the 3 falling tag lines in the shape of bottle caps, not poker chips

#9 Needs color somewhere... the Ampersand (&) is too much, maybe a climbing axe could be used in some way for this
Good stuff

#13, very stylized, however none of the components we detailed are represented yet. Like the color and the look, but it has to reflect the gaming and outdoors feel of the facility and the group we are trying to attract
Thanks

#14, humor me on this one. The Rock is great, but can you use an "Inukshuck" in your design to see what that will look like instead of the current tetering rock you are using.
Thanks,
Brian

you betcha! MM

#16, thanks, missed the "Great People" tagline,
We are going to look at these as a group today to give final ideas and thoughts. Rank the top 6 and go from there
Brian

#15, looks a little too much like a meteor, needs to look like a climbing rock

#33 add an E on the end of Grille
#35, less childlike rocks, more adult if possiblem maybe add some blue to the color set

#44 Great shot, I will need to see one with and without the taglines, when we apply the logo there will some applications where we will use them and others where they will not fit.
Thanks,

Brian

no prob, MM

44, Just had a thought to see the pick and axes between the Bar and Grill turned into a small rock or period.
thx
