I am so blown away by the response to this auction, all of you are wonderful designers, and I am very impressed with the creativity and commitment to tweaking your work. I wish there could be more than one winner.
(A) The reason I like #90 (ranked #1)
1. I like the way the bird is abstract - the ones that use a "cartoonish" bird seem too much like twitter's icon and while they are playful they lack the sophistication I am looking for.
2. I like that the logo does not loudly yell the idea of "bird". The subtle nature is much more reflective of our ideas since iBird is not just a birding product, its a brand for ebooks of all types.
3. I also like the colors, because green and green or green and orange are the shades used in the color scheme of our product at
http://www.ibird.com - the iPhone app in the banner floating above the ground - the background is green and the buttons are a different shade of green and the bird itself is orange. So use of that color would be nice but its not mandatory.
(B) The reason I like #100 (ranked #2)
1. Its very elegant, has dynamic movement. Font could be better.
(C) The reason I like #30 (ranked #3)
1. Really really clever putting the "i" inside the "B"
