RAM (Comes from Rock Air Maintenance)Logo Design Contest

To all designers we want to make a small the motto - please remove "The" from the motto please use only "Cornerstone of Quality Aviation" going forward.

To all Designers. If you are using Ram (animal) in your design, see if it can be incorporated into the word “RAM.” Same with Bird of Prey.

To all Designers. If using the Ram (animal) in the design see if you can incorporate it as a front view of the Ram – want to compare to the one’s coming with a profile view of a Ram or Ram’s head.

If you have integrated the slogan/motto into the design, please have it in all caps. Thanks!

Come on lets get more designers going here!!!!!

I have given a lot of individual designers feedback. To the group, from our team, we seem to be leaning toward a design that incorporates a Ram's head. However, I do not want to squelch any ideas otherwise as it may be something that grabs us. Also, we are finding Gold & Black to be where we are going, so try to use those colors - Dark Blacks and Glossy or Shiny Gold. Would also like to see the lettering and any designs integrated. Last, please capitalize the lettering for the Slogan. Hope that helps and provides better understanding of where we are going. You all have shaped this direction by the designs we have seen - so thanks! Last, we still want to see new designs so, for new designers - jump on this contest!

For reference - I am a U.S. Expat living in East Africa - so if you don't get feedback from me at times, I might be asleep. Also, I will be traveling around this afternoon and will have intermittent comms. However, I am monitoring as best I can when moving around, so please keep updating your designs and submitting new ones! They are all great and have made us think, change the direction we are going and that is credit to you all! Thanks!

All, at the moment we are looking at all the designs and as designers make changes it is amazing how it can improve your ranking as we see something that is "Wow!" Remember, 5 of you are selected in the next phase, so don't give up! We have already seen designs that we first thought were so, so and then a couple changes later are our top pick, so please do not place a lot of value in the ranking at the moment! Stick with it!

All, if I put a design of yours in the "Not Interested" lot, please do not discard or pull back. Reason, you may have multiple designs and at first the one design is appealing, then we meet as a group and after the discussion we decide we like the other design or aspects of the other design. Thanks for your understanding!

Well, about 12 hours left of the 1st phase - keep 'em coming. It is getting late here, but I will check designs a couple more times this evening and early tomorrow morn. We plan to meet as a group in the morn to pick the top five design/designers. I truly appreciate everyone's work and how much you have brought up designs we would have never thought.

Thanks!

Hitting the rack now - will check designs again early in the morn. Thanks!

All, we are fast approaching the end of phase 1 and very much appreciate everyone's designs - truly! At the moment, I am experiencing Internet issues, one partner has no power at all and no internet and another is in the States at the moment... and you all gave me a bunch more input after that person went to bed. Therefore, I am going to review the final designs I have received in the last couple hours properly today and get a call together with everyone so, we can give this the proper attention to chose the five final designers properly and fairly with my entire team's input. So, please be patient and I hope to have our final choices in the next 12 hours - more than likely less than the next 12 hours. Again, thanks to all of you for your inputs - keep 'em coming in for the final minutes! Thanks!

All, I thought I had to choose who were the top five finalists and it would give me time to do this until this evening when I could get our entire team together. However, I see that is not the case. Therefore, I have made a decision based on my past discussions with the team. To eliminate any confusion our finalists are, in no particular order, Vagia, kirmizzz, linggayoni17, ArtozDesigns and jjbq. If there is major heartburn on my side, that's my problem. My apologies for any confusion.

I would like to add a thanks to all of the designers, especially ones who were not selected as finalist. It was not an easy decision - I honestly would have liked to choose 6 or 7 designers. All of you contributed greatly to what is quickly shaping what we thought we wanted to something much better. All of you contributed to that. Thanks to all of you for your hard work! I wish you all the best in future contests - never quit, people can see your heart in your designs! Thanks!

To our finalists, I want to thank all of you for your hard work and dedication to the design of our logo. Your efforts have truly made our decision difficult. There have been many discussions as to whether our ranking of the designs is correct because of the high quality designs you have submitted. It is amazing how your designs shaped what we thought we wanted to what we have decided upon. Shortly, I will choose the winning design, but before I do so, I want to thank all of you - Thanks!
