I really like both of your designs #1 and #2. The lyre looks too much like New York City Ballet. The color combinations are great. The font and design are really close. I think #2 is beautiful, try a different symbol.
After thinking more on your design, I really love both of them. I love the structure and simplicity of the font as well as your rich color choices. The lyre design I feel just needs a bit more movement. I would love to see more ideas from you.
I still like this but I think it looks more corporate and not like a fine arts organization. The lyre lacks movement. We love the look but would like to see you tweak it. The font is great.
Your design is still in our top picks but we would need to see the above mentioned adjustments before taking it into serious consideration as our winner.
So I am just throwing this out there to a few of the designers. What about doing the image in an art deco style, we are getting a lot of lyre's and not sure how we feel about them. I am not feeling 100% on the designs. I just thought that art deco especially in the theaters here in los angeles. It might be nice to see that style incorporated into our logo. Feel free to use what ever image you think might look best, lyre, harp or anything else you see fitting with our theme of los angeles "city of angels" and ballet.
Ok so last 13 hours of the tournament. This has been a crazy experience. Just wanted to throw one more note out there to our top competitors, if they have any last design for use using our initials CAB as the image. Thank you for all your work. You all have made this process really difficult but in a great way, your work has been so great, it has been hard to make up our mind which one to go with. We will have to think very hard about the winner.
