Thank you for the submission. I just posted comments on the main contest page that will be helpful. I like the emblem concept, but I think that the core of the design should show more of what the greenway will be after its conversion. it won't be a railroad, but rather a public space that will support a wide range of activities (walking, biking, snowshowing, cross-country skiing, bird watching, etc.) for town residents of all ages.
The multi-color balloon element will not work for us, as we are looking for a design that incorporates fewer total colors.
Were the balloons on #3 an attempt to capture the playful element described on our style sliders? If so, try to capture the playfulness by depicting the activities that will take place on the trail. Thanks again for your submission.
