Collaborate. Innovate. 2012Logo Design Contest

really like the balance in #26. Many on the committee like this one. Could the Adelaide and date stand out more/ maybe drop 'Australia' and just have may 150-17 without repeating 2012.

thanks, #53 works well but still struggling to see the Adelaide and date, which I think needs to be read from a computer screen without enlarging.

That is getting very close - quite a favoured design with the committee. Still difficult to read the venue and date from a screen.
The flower design would suit a more Asian event than Australian.
