Thank you for the great designs. The problem is that we don't want to have a background colour in the logo - and #11 without the colour then somehow lacks the enthusiasm that we would like to express. But we would love to see some more of your ideas!
Thank you for the new entries. We really like the colours in #26 and #25! What we realized through the contest though is that we would like the symbol in the logo to show that it is about friends. In the logos #25 and #26, the logo looks good but somehow you don't see the friends in there, you don't recognize what it is. Maybe you can give it another try with those colours and that font but another symbol for friends?
