We have decided upon our top three designers, and you are definitely in that group. What we can't decide is which designs are our favorites. There was one designer who worked with us throughout the entire process, making lots of changes and creating many designs. We wanted to work with her, and we thought we would. But then two others came in late in the game (one very late, and the other you), and now we have three very different feelings, and all are very good. So now we're just trying to figure out which designer really has the design that will suit us best. We've also considered the possibility of offering to pay the other two non-winning designers a certain amount of money to purchase their design. I don't know if that's allowed in the rules or not once the contest is over (and judging has happened), but if it is, it's something we're considering.
Thank you again! I'm sure we'll be deciding very soon.
