Hi Claudia,
Thanks for the submissions! A couple pieces of feedback. First, we'd like to stray away from the red and blue color palette, as many of our current events already have this. Could we maybe see some color variations with gold, silver, and black, including the logo system under the icon? We'd like to see the gradient removed from the "2014" in the logos as it makes it a little too hard to read. We also like the stripe pattern below the cup in Entry #39 & #40. Please continue that with future designs.
Also, we'd really like the trophy/cup to be even bigger, it just doesn't feel like a prominent figure in the overall design. Is there way it can also showcase some more detail? Maybe a bolder sheen with cleaner lines to give it a brighter, more vibrant look.
We'd like to see the bucking bronco character on the cup, but transposed in a way that looks bevel/embossed, or even plated on the trophy. Maybe layer the Texas State Flag within the character?
Overall, we like what you've sent us, but it still needs some remodeling. Our goal is to have a logo that has clean, vibrant lines while still showcasing a minimal color palette. We think this pseudo-minimalist design would really stand out.
Thanks again for your help, we greatly appreciate it!
