I like three with comments. The first one I like is # 8:
Your wave blue can replace and remove the letter "C" so the wave looks like the "C" for "COAST". The Wave is the letter "C". Can you change the lighter color blue of the Wave with the outside of "C"(change the dark blue) could be in black on the inside of the "C" so all of the other letters of "O A S T" stay in black- so the black inside of the wave "C" is better black.
I see there is more contrast of light blue and black on the wave letter as "C". works with COAST and then light blue of the two words of "Fiduciary Services" as the same lighter blue work better?.
I think the size of the capital letters for "COAST" are an emphasis and easy to read.
I wonder if the other words from my byline might work better on your logo to be removed otherwise too leave off of "Personalized Asset & Care Management"? The logo would be smart looking and not so busy.
Your symbol at the top looks like a dark blue "C" with a small wave of grey and light blue above the word "COAST".
Perhaps the dark blue would look like a life preserver ring or maybe the letter "C" which will look better if it is more open, so it is clearer that it is a "C".
Or could the symbol be much a bigger size of the "C" or life preserver ring and the wave colors are shadowed that is above and behind the word "COAST" so COAST is in front big bright in black. So the symbol is behind is larger font above the word "COAST" as the same size of the original font and as bigger the size so the close of the bottom symbol is below the word COAST so the waves are there becoming brighter colors of light blue and grey as they become the wave under the word COAST. And if the size of the waves below COAST fits the well or if needs longer than with the word COAST?
Consider I wonder if the letters "Fiduciary Services" can curve the line the Shadowed bigger symbol in still in light blue? rather than keeping the words in a straight line below the wave.
The same color as the light blue Fiduciary Services also combines with the wave with the light blue and grey colors.
Maybe a couple of options you think works better or not. And again it's better to leave off my byline of Personalized Asset & Care Management is too many words for the logo.
Entries #28 - outstanding ! I amazed I could speak the words you could actually do what I said. Looks like it resulted better than the original #11 in my opinion. I really like this one.
Anything you are needed to finalize let me know.with else to do more
Entries #26 & #27 - Anything else to do some change or creative design with the wave you make the "C" work any more interesting so the wave "C" makes it clearly look like the word "COAST" not looking like the word "OAST" .
Entry #9 - the small case "coast" is not stature and I don't prefer the the wiggle line as a non-descript of a wave of "o".
If you use the byline I made an error that needs to be corrected to fix it. It is "Personalized Asset & Care Mnanagement" not "Pesonalized". My mistake I wrote it wrong but have told you the correction.
Entrries #59,#60 and #61 with the change with Bold for "COAST" to compare it to the original one #28. To decide which even if any better as #28 still looks a good between of it as the option you have presented.
I prefer these Entries # 8, #9, #26, #12, and #27, #46, and #62 that are not better expectations I have commented as the better of yours I like are more stellar at #28,#59,#60 and #61.
Entires #103 and #105 are looking as new options to decide if better than the ones I have already seen very best. I like #105 better than #106 as the waves are very creative within the title. Very upgrade also to consider which is better.
Entry #28 is in top 5. On #28 - Change, if you can do, make darker blue for the last second wave (not lighter blue) and make Fiduciary Services is in the same darker blue as the darker wave?
I cannot upload the changes as the contest is now in judging mode and only first rank designer can submit entries in judging mode, If you want to see my color variations which you have asked, then you have to shuffle the rankings. you can reshuffle the ranking again after my submission
Dennis, I didn't know why I wouldn't receive your changes you mentioned Sept 13th I was looking for. Now I apparently today I just found out I was required to change each different designers in the top 3 ranks only. If I had in one of the top 3 perhaps I would have then received your changes.
Thank you for all your efforts and feedback I appreciate. You are an excellent designer.
