Dear Gary,
Thank you so much for these variations. I am totally loving them - and # 36 I think is best of them.
I think it is just right but I want to sit with these all for a day or so, printing them out and testing them for things like use on the bottom of my Powerpoint slides and for letterhead. Once before when I did a LogoTournament, I was sent a package of my chosen logo designs for letterhead, for envelopes, etc. for free. (I did compensate that designer with a small contribution and repeat business) Can you also do that type of thing for me in the follow up to the contest?
One thing that I wanted to mention to you is that the logo is good for me for a reason you might not have known - visually clever for a reason you might not have intended. Part of my business is making transportation projects more "green" and transportation planning more sustainable. Take a look at the Department of Transportation's logo here:
http://www.dot.gov/Your logo is slyly a visual joke on their logo.... funny huh?
In any case, I hope your Mum is doing better and I am grateful that in the midst of all that, you put the time in to perfect my logo. I am grateful.
Sonia
