Hi, please find my firriest entries attached. The concept is a badge/emblem style logo made from the main element which is the stylised trowel. The background in the circle has the subtle brick wall pattern. The stars are seven pointed to represent the commonwealth star from the Australian flag. The maroon colour makes it specific to Queensland, the blue comes from the Union Jack in the flag. The silver colouring shows it's a competition with awards at stake.
I've also placed the map of Queensland on the trowel at the top to give it pride of place - it also holds similarity to a scoop of cement mix on the tip of the trowel.
Please let me know if you'd like to see any changes.
Hey Brandmaster, This is lovely work #73 and #74. Thank you. I will discuss with my business partner. I like it a lot. We shall let you know if we would like any changes. Oh, and thank you for the very well considered description text. This all makes good sense.
