Thanks for your entry!

I really like the feeling of the text, and the beanstalk. I'd like to see more leaves on the beanstalk (maybe wrapping around the monument too?). It would also be nice if the beanstalk had more of the color green in it (it's a touch hard to "read" at the moment). Playing up the whimsical nature of the beanstalk would be good too (you're already strongly in that direction).

One other comment: The monument feels alittle imposing right now - not sure if that's a product of the tones used or the angle that we're viewing it...

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses!

Hi there- welcome back!

Here are some comments:

I like your font, though I think that I'd like to see 'greens' a touch less heavy. I think the weight difference with 'dc' is a bit too much.
Right now, the leaves are resembling birds to me. Maybe because they're so symmetrical? Can you play with some size variation there?
Also, the vine feels much too thick to me (particularly at the base). Can you thin it out?
I'm finding the other growth at the base distracting. What would happen if we took it/them out and exposed the vine?
Can you play with a lighter palate on the Monument? I think #6 was lighter - I might even prefer lighter than that...
Last comment (for now!) - I'd like to see another option rather than the circle of green at the base. Maybe a straight line?

Thanks so much! Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

I'm going to work with #41.

I really like the text portion.
The vines look a bit like barbed wire to me. Can you make them more organic (varied) looking? And cluster the leaves a bit more (they shouldn't be individuals spaced equally on the vine)?

Maybe the vine could be thinner too.

The monument feels kind of thick to me. Could you make it a bit more graceful?

Thanks!

I prefer the font in #41-#44 in terms of color and style.
I'm not that into the color fade thing happening in #48-#51, though I think those leaves are easier to "understand" as leaves. Can you try a darker color with them?

My eye is being tricked by the white side of the monument - finding it hard to "read." Can you adjust something to give it a more definite side?

Thanks so much!

I like #53! Not sure about the vine on the right base. Could we lose that? Or put a leaf on it so that it makes more sense? I don't think we need it...

Also, the 3 leaves on the middle right feel off-balance to me. Maybe one of them needs to be much bigger? Not sure...

Some more comments:

I think the shadows on the monument are distracting.
The vine feels too thick at it's thickest spot. Not totally graceful.
Is the white line at the top of the monument necessary? I find it distracting next to the white lines in the leaves.
I'm not crazy about the pea-greenish color in the vine.

Thanks for all your work!
