Hey There,
Thanks for the entries. We really like
#2 a lot.
1. The grey circle, would be great to have it more of a full circle, but with still the aged look. It looks as if part of the circle is cut off at the beginning.
2. The smudges on both "a's" look too uniform as well as can we have less smudging on the "a's"
3. Would like to see the "h" in manhandled in upper case.
4. Would love to see other type faces as well.
5. And possibly a splash of color.
We really liked your profile/avatar photo. We'd love to see if you can incorporate some color(s) not too metallic, but sort of liked the water drops, the drop shadow, etc.
We know that we are still in the very early stages of the contest, but you're on the right track.
#1 Looks great too, but we like the boldness of
#2.
Thanks for your help... Feel free to send us a PM if you have any other questions.
