Happy to receive input/feedback... (would you like to see a different font, color, additions, subtractions or have other suggestions?)

PS: tried to go more toward something that could be identified as a grinning heart in 42 and 44

ps: emblem in 44--also tried to keep it so that if used as a brand, it was a self contained unit and didn't have any intricate detail. Can always add special effects later to a simple/clean design.

Hi cdinucci~ Love your art. We have decided to go with Grinhart Ranch (not acres).
Can you make entry #63 Ranch instead of Acres and make the smile look less like a whales tail and more like a turned up smile...maybe add tiny little lines at top of smile like dimples?

thank you. Happy to do that, but I can't put in any new entries unless I am at least temporarily in first place. I can go ahead and do the work, and then comment so you would know i am ready to upload and could change my status at least temporarily.

I have one i can upload now, if you want to temporarily put me in first. Please message me when you do, so i don't miss the opportunity. Thanks.

Be sure and tell me if what i did was what you were going for or needs further tweaking.

thanks again for the feedback.

Hi again. I have the design changes requested ready to load (changes to Grinhart Ranch and smile area.) but at this point in the contest, only the person in first place can load. If you can place me temporarily in that position, I would be happy to upload, and then you can reposition. If you want, you can change my rank again right after upload. And/or if you have further changes you would like to see, can leave it there. Please let me know by message when you do move me temporarily to first, so that i don't miss the opportunity. Thanks again.

I moved you to #1 for revisions...thanks!

thanks. i've uploaded three options. Let me know if you would like to see any others. Feel free to be very directive or specific.

Thanks again for the opportunity.

#68 is our favorite so far, thank you! We are looking at 1 other option and will let you know.

Am guessing since you haven't chosen a winner yet, you are probably going in a different direction. Just wanted to let you know if you would like to see any other adjustments on mine to please let me know. One way or another, thanks for considering my design.

Hi, we really like your design. We also like #1. We are torn. This is our first time to use logo tournament. do you know if we are allowed to chose both? Is there such a thing as a tie???? Can we chose a first and second place?a

No, sorry there are no ties. And, if you want to separately purchase the second place logo, no arrangement is to be made with that designer (for that logo and/or other work) until after you declare a winner in the contest and (I believe) until you approve final files of the winner. This is because other work or deals cannot be taken into account or influence you when deciding who will win the contest, since the winner not only gets the only prize money, they also get more points toward site ranking/placement than second and third, etc.).

(Also, if you do offer to buy the second place, it is completely up to the designer whether they will take your offer. You would need to make payment arrangements, file transfer, etc. directly with them, since it would not be going through logo tournament at that point.)

I don't know how well I have described the process, I think i have described the in's and out's correctly, but staff could probably clarify this more if you need more info.
