Hello - just to let you know that the gradient background is only a way to present the logo and it is not a part of the logo. If you want to see how the logo would look like against the white background, you can temporarily rank it 1st, so I'll be able to upload the updated version.
Thanks a lot for all the efforts that you have put it, I loved the simplicity of the Logo, but somewhere the entire team felt the logo which was ranked the first with the wheat grain around it,signifies us as a food company. Hence we ranked it the first. Thanks once again.
Absolutely :) I understand. The thing is that you didn't provide much feedback during the contest so nobody was sure if we were going in the right direction. If you like the logo and would like to see a bit stronger connection with food, I can replace the orange circle shapes with an ear of wheat/rye. Just an idea.
