Hi Humsol, regarding your concern with revising the finalists list, it is allowed as stated in the rules of LogoTournament -
https://logotournament.com/help/client/29Finalists phase - 2 days
In this phase the field is narrowed to allow to work your five favorite designers, which can be changed at anytime. Limiting submissions to the top 5 designers ensures more personalized attention and dedicated service. A designer is much more likely to go the distance with you if they are only competing with four others, instead of dozens and dozens.
