How are you? Here is my proposal for your contest. I created a flask out of the "c" by slightly tilting it and the bubble symbolizes the dot of the "i".
I look forward to your comments or thoughts. It would be my pleasure to work up any variations.
I'm in contact with him now, to see if we can figure something out, if you are really interested in my design. So that I can further develop it. Let me know.
To be honest I do not see a valid claim there in the first to the concept by youth given I provided the beaker suggestion to all in the brief.
My feedback to youth was that it was not clear it was a beaker in his design while yours is clearly a beaker. Also there is not a grass linkage in Youth's design as I am requesting of you.
Unfortunately youth's design is not of interest to our team, whether this complicates the matter as well I do not know.
Ultimately will leave those issues up to yourselves to sort out I guess.
