Ideaz, thanks again for your designs. As you may have noticed, I've had your designs ranked first and second place overall. However, we have a problem with the first ranked design, and I'm going to send you a private message to explain it.
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 #22 and #24 of yours). It will come down to what overall concept the team likes best.
If you can do anything with the concern I shared on #24, that would be great. We'll keep you in the top 5 so you are able to submit revisions.
Thanks Dennis. You actually have 2 designs in our top 5, #113 and #22 and unlike many tournaments I've done where the top man is likely to win, this is truly anybody's contest between the top 5 designs. I don't need any variations from you right now. It comes down to the feedback of several people. If we pick one of yours, we may come back and ask for tweaks, but I don't think we need to see anything else to get it narrowed down.
I'm getting ranks of our top 5 choices from many people, and #22 is getting picked first by most people we talk to! It was third on my ranked list, but I can't ignore the feedback I'm getting from others. The only change I made to that logo before showing it to people was I flipped it horizontally so the river runs from the bottom left to the top right. We think that makes people envision the water flowing TOWARD the sun, as their eyes move toward the text. Could you flip-flop that so we have a mirror image of the icon? I'm waiting on just a couple more people's input, but I think it may be our winner.
Good to know that many people opted for my design, I have submitted the variations of the design, you have asked for. In #153 i moved the sun more to the right, that's the only difference between the two revised submissions.
Dennis, thanks for your hard work on the contest. Your design, #153 was selected as the winner! However, would you please keep a copy of design #113 on hand? It is possible that we may come back to you to purchase your other 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 the other design. That decision would be made by June 15, so you'll hear from us by then if requested.
