You have the right vibe on 116 and 117... we like the type, not too cartoonish like many of the other logos being presented. The star on the i is a great touch. Any other typefaces to explore that are similar to this one to see some options? Thank you for your work!
Hey Kent! We really like the logo you created, and the variations will drive a lot of interest to our brand and web site as we launch this summer. We plan to award this to the first place designer and would like to purchase your logo in the coming weeks as we start earning revenue from shirt sales. We see a few of your marks as excellent Fourth of July looks, too. Would you be interested in selling your logo after the competition is over? We didn't budget for two logos, but see some "magic" in yours and would love to have it part of our brand when we can afford it. Please let us know your thoughts. Thanks!
