Nice design and looking forward to more of your creative ideas! Only specific comments on this particular concept are that I like the dark and light blue type and that the icon to the left of the text block is too abstract. I think you'll really need to make any icon self-evident. The event won't have the funds to burn icons into a viewer's memory so a sail, or boat, or wave has to lean toward being more real than abstract. Also please continue to review my on-going high-level general comments and tips, made to the entire group in the LogoTournament Brief. These are very important. Great job so far! Thanks and best, Mark
