Design #15 represent6s a polish marble stone the white space has 2 meanings, the first is freedom a bird in flight the second meaning is a stylized letter "M" for Montana
Design #16 represents freedom by morphing a stone to bird, secondary meaning M for Montana I can easily picture this design animated for open and or closing video sequences
#15 and #16, I like what you have going here, especially on #15. While we have never thought of a bird, I can see how you picture it animated. At times we have envisioned a stone being free tumbling along apart from others. We embody trying to do things better and different from others in order to blow their minds. The stylized "M" for Montana is a nice touch as well. I like being able to incorporate that.
Scott, #29 is bad ass...if we were a film company. Which now this logo makes me want to become one! LOL. So, the concept is REALLY cool. Can we somehow exchange the film element to something else? I am not sure what. While we host our events outdoors, perhaps something with nature...I am not sure on this one. You are the designer...you know best. I am going to rank this one high just because of the concept...but if you can come up with a different idea for the film...that would be great.
#32 and #33. Digging it. I am not sure why, but I get a little of a "heavenly or Biblical" feeling. I don't know why. Perhaps it is the rising sun or sun flares? I can also picture this in different colors other than orange...but that is simple enough to change out. The Blue and Black colors you had were very strong. But...I LOVE the whole concept...it is what a "freestone river" is. Having the scenery within the logo is great.
#33, I think I know what I would like to see tweaked. Perhaps tone down the sun flares a bit. Maybe just a gradient? And then the snow glacier on the tallest mountain...can we smooth it out so it isn't so pointy?
I've updated the mountain scene and you are right the original does look biblical I never noticed that. Plus a new submissions concentrating on the river as a stylized letter 'S"
