We have had some discussions about the entries and have been able to come out of a meeting with a better understanding of what we would really like to see. We asked for a Contest extension of 7 days, which will hopefully be granted soon. I added a comment on #103.
In short we are looking less for an abstract made of the DEI letters and are more interested in a symbol representing "community space people lifestyle". No rainbow color effects, more conservative use of color. Symbol on top of the text like #88 and #103. Also, we really like the look of the text as laid out in #49, but the dominos gotta go.
While we initially loved the #63 and the DEI letter abstract, we have decided to have less emphasis on DEI.
Also, the symbol or graphic should not be an overtly obvious structure / building / skyscraper, but should more subtedly represent "people places lifestyle and community".
THANKS again for all the entries, so many great efforts...
