Central Gulf Marine Trades AssociationLogo Design Contest

The boat in #4 and #5 is an improvement.

including a regional representation is a good idea (#4), but we are not the FL peninsula. We are MS, AL, and FL panhandle (west). Using the whole Gulf might work, east TX to west FL, with a visual to focus on the Central Coast.

not a sailboat market (#6 and #7)

dear Contest Holder

Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank and re-rank a variety of designs to get a variety of new entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ 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.
~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked in the top 10. We like to earn points.

~~ NOTE: While in JUDGING mode, the designer ranked in 1st can still submit revisions.

I have requested the extension to get a few more people from our organization involved in the decision making process. If you have any new ideas or improvements, please continue to submit.
