red arrows create the directional path, and it leads to blue skies.
btw, if you ever see an entry of mine you would like to see variations of (colors, fonts, additions, subtractions or just suggestions) please feel free to ask. Happy to do.
you may want to contact ivan about reopening your contest to entries. As it stands now, in judging mode only the person in first place can enter any new entries, and if it is, as your comment says in the briefing area that judging has been extended because you don't like any of them, it might be more expedient to see if you can reopen it. This is actually the first time that I have seen anything about the new direction you wanted to go (ie, IES and listing the new color scheme you wanted and that is only showing in the explanation of why judging is being extended---nowhere else are those things noted in either the brief or in contest comments.)
