Dear designers,
This is one of the two most important communities we will ever develop on Kiawah Island.
(The other is Cougar Island: https://logotournament.com/contests/cougar_island )
A higher prize amount is being offered for these two contests in order to attract the best designers and the best work.
In respect for your talent and efforts, I promise the following:
> I will rank daily, often multiple times a day
> I will regularly provide individual feedback
> I will respond to questions as promptly and thoroughly as possible
> I will post certain comments on this page to benefit all designers
> I may end the contest early if the number and quality of entries is excellent; so please don't hold back for an end-of-contest logo dump
> I will never ask you to copy existing work or 'borrow' elements from another logo or designer
> I will alert a designer if they enter a logo I think is too similar to another logo to keep logo court cases from occurring
I have had great experiences on here in the past and expect this contest to be just as fun and productive.
Knock my socks off!

As a constructive point of creative direction for all designers: #3 and #7 are steering toward a commercial or hotel-type look which is not where the designs should be headed.

I will keep and consider as many ideas as I can. So, logos marked "not interested" are simply to thin out variations of a concept or execution.

Would like to see some seafaring approaches. Not too literal, but typefaces and color schemes that speak to the authentic ocean lover. Maybe the sand and salt-weathered textures of the shore. Not beachfront hotel—more classic New England boathouse or bait shop, perhaps. ~Thanks~

The client, owners, creative department staff, and I are asking for the bar to be raised greatly.
We believe the prize package should attract a higher level, more refined collection of work.
Looking forward to renewed passion and new entries! Reading the brief again may help.
Remember: wordmarks (just lettering with a slight artistic twist) are classic, elegant, and appropriate options.
~Thanks~

Hello, Geoff. I've been watching both of your contests, and was planning on re-reading your attached PDFs to get a better feel for your identity needs. They've disappeared from my view. Have you deleted them? Please re-upload if you find they've been deleted accidentally from your contests.

Or, if they were taken down for a reason, please upload more details or points of reference so that myself and others can get a better idea as to what you need from us.

Thanks! -Jennifer1

#80 #29 #105 are examples or wordmarks with subtle artistic additions that add value to what would otherwise just be straight type. Would like to see more entries with the wordmark approach. ~Thanks~

I will be switching certain logos in and out of the number 1 position to allow designers to submit tweaks or color combinations as requested. ~Thanks!~

Due to the overwhelming success of the Cougar Island contest, the owners are requesting more wordmark entries for Cape Charles—not just straight type, but a typeface modified to some level with perhaps an integrated, subtle graphic element. I hope the prize amount and my willingness to work with all of you will entice you to re-enter.
Willing to clarify or answer any questions you may have.

~Thank you~

has the extension period already finished? I see it was yesterday that the notice of extension was placed, but I only see "Judging" as the contest status.

Hi, illumina!
I was graciously granted a one-day extension, but the system was showing several days left.
I ended the contest 'early' at the 24-hour mark in order to comply with my one-day request.
~Thanks!~

I missed the extension. I'm sorry for that. You have many great designs to choose from though!

Rankings are a bit immaterial right now. Just shuffling for consideration.
The owners will see many entries today. Hope to have a answer today, too!
Thanks,
