I think we're gonna go with your design, but we need to see some other color options before we confirm. Can you redo #76 with some different color variations?
Also, my team isn't thrilled with the icons in the bubbles at the top (dollar sign), right (book) and far right (creek). We like the concept of the dollar sign, but for whatever reason it just feels like that specific dollar sign doesn't fit with the logo. The book is cool, but not extremely relevant to the goal of the site. It's needs to be something related to news vs. a book. And the creek is ok, but again not extremely relevant to what we're doing. Maybe something about schools? I realize it's tough to represent these ideas in such a tiny space, but if we can get them right and get the colors right, we're ready to pick this logo.
