Thank you for submitting. I ranked your design #24 fourth for the following positive reasons:
1- I like the 3 characters in the emblem. While I am not trying to emphasize "group" over the other two words in my name, I do like the multiple characters. 2- I like the sunburst behind them, That subtly says "Florida" to me, which is where this business operates. 3- I like the font for Clutch.
Suggestions for revisions- 1- Can you open the right side ("3 o'clock") portion of the ring to form a letter "C" (as in Clutch)? 2- Can you equally promote Clutch and Performance, as both words are important to the brand message? 3- Can you resubmit with these changes on a white background and a dark background please?
$72 and #77- improvement again. I'd like to request green with Clutch Performance and gold with Group. Also, can we eliminate the small, fractured gold arc on the right side altogether so the remaining outline of the emblem is a "c"? And maybe the sunburst can project out of that open side slightly?
