We've been getting lots of great entries, but nothing that has just jumped out as a clear winner, so we have decided to extend the contest. If we get a great logo submitted, we may call it early. Tonight we will make sure that every logo has some detailed feedback, and we welcome anyone who would like to submit revised drafts (or new drafts). We're really liking the route of #54, and it's pretty clear at this point to a few of the things we really like and a few of the things that aren't so hot in our minds:
* having CWP in the design AND having Code Works Plus written out (either in a separate area or connected doesn't matter)
* having the slogan isn't helping, it doesn't look that great
* lots of colors is just a bit distracting and isn't in the direction we want to go. keep it simple, use a few colors and just keep it smooth
* Random extra characters aren't what we're going for. We'd like to have the word/CWP there, and an icon/symbol that can be associated with our company. above all else, we're most interested in having a brandable logo that we can have someone look at and know who it is. we'll be putting this in the footer on sites that we work on, our business cards and advertising materials, and it's overly important that we can have the full version with Code Works Plus, or just show the symbol/icon and have them be interchangeable.
Thanks for all the great submissions, and we're really excited about picking a winner soon!
