Dear Sein,
The reason you are ranked second is because we like the spirit of your design, as well as the simplicity. This is something we are applying as well. we also like the story it tells: Bring life to the city garden.
Though, after discussion with our independent art director we would like to make the following comments to make the logo applicable for our business branding (website, store design, packaging, business cards, etc.)
* Font: we would like to see a more luxury font (something from the Times family)
* Colouring: would it be possible to use brighter colours?
* Shadow: can you remove the shadow so the picture and text are more together?
* Form: Can you make a "store-sign" example of your logo (picture before 'House of Green")?
Tomorrow, 3 hours before the end of the final round we will have an internal discussion again.
Looking forward to your input!
Best,
SKAII-team
