David DanelLogo Design Contest

Feedback to designers. I am from Louisiana, so am more interested in a Louisiana based theme / Cajun theme. As opposed to a tropical theme. Thanks.

How about a ray of sunlight streaking across the sky/water? We live in Louisiana so our waters are swampy and lined with moss covered trees. It's not tropical looking like the ocean or Caribbean. We also have lots of birds especially brown pelicans and egrets. Think sunrise or sunset over the water. Logo is to go on side of a 25' boat and it can be about 4-6 feet long and 1 foot high.

For all designers benefit. I am posting a link that will take you to some pictures of a sunset on Lake Ponchartrain. Perhaps that will give you a feel of my vision.

Louisiana has a rich French Culture - my family heritage is traced back to the original French settlers who were sent here to tame the land - hence the words on the logo "Rayon de Soleil" in French which means "Ray of Sunshine"

See "Ray of Sunshine" on picture attached to this link. Notice the "Ray of Sunshine" coming out from behind the cloud.

Designs are looking good! I think the name will show up better on the boat if the name is separated from the graphic like #2 and #3.
