Another thought, looking at your current design, the 'Pointe' is formed where two river canyons come together... perhaps we could add another river to come around the central mountain, and join to form the waterfall? matches the geologic features....
The new imagery is very nice, and thank you for taking the time to look up, but you've got me hooked on the #1 look, white on the blue/green, which is really, really nice.
What would make this perfect for us is if you can leave all the same with #1, and connect the 'rivers' around the mountain, somehow combine them above the 'PO' in Pointe, then make it look as if the waterfall disappears behind the text. Idea perhaps reappearing to pool underneath, to underline the words. Like the blue/white simple river look, water fall perhaps not complicated, we need your skill to make it look great!
Upon completion we are having our main signs made from brass plate, and the colors on #1 are perfect for acid etching.
Thank you soo much for all of your work! It's awsome.... I'm thinking we'll have our winner upon the changes requested!
