Thank you for some really quality work! My favorites you've submitted are #16, #13 and #12. #16 is my favorite because it emphasizes a person moving forward, and includes a secondary person being assisted -- the catalyst. And I like that the catalyst is in blue and the focal point is another color.
The other two are excellent because they make me think of the freedom someone has through working with us. So great work all around.
In addition to the many people-focused designs we've received so far, I'm going to be asking for a different concept that shows water -- perhaps in the form of a stream -- and how water can be like a catalyst that moves people forward along their life path. I'll be requesting this in the public comments, but wanted to make sure you saw the request.
We had a lot of very unique concepts to choose from, and yours is near the top of the list. The top 6 ranked designs are all very much in the running (including #16 and #54 of yours). It will come down to what overall concept the team likes best.
Ar-Razzaaq, thanks for your hard work on the contest. We had a difficult decision, and your design ended up in second place behind #153. However, would you please keep a copy on hand? It is possible that we may come back to you to purchase your design if the final board we present to asks for another concept. So while it's finished from LogoTournament's perspective, you may still get paid for this design. That decision would be made by June 15, so you'll hear from us by then if requested.
