Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank and re-rank a variety of designs to get a variety of new entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered.
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you are going to see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested"
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Ranking is a non-monitary means of showing apprecaition for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

Entrys 4 and 3 are my current favorites, but entry 6 might be a good idea in the making with some type of box around the whole logo.

With the "&" sign, is there a way to do a creative "&" sign that kind of looks like an "a". Also, is there a way to add in the & sign between the L and W without separating the L and W further apart?

I like entries 3 and 4 for their boldness and simplicity. I also like 14, 16 and 10 because while they still straightforward, they push the envelope just enough to indicate that the firm is creative and unique compared to its peers.

after seeing the blue highlighting, I think I prefer the logo to be all black and white, with maybe some element in a grayscale.
