Hello Edwin.
I hope for now you don't create new projects, because I thought all this day long of your logo, and you get lucky : I think I exactly know what I want with your project, and I think it can be the winning project. I speak of this with some friends, and everyone find this awesome. It's why not your rank 1. But now you have to work, this next days. My complete idea is around the eyes :
- We keep the main logo like this. But the font can't be really better : almost everyone like the font of
#160, so try something like this. I think I like the eyes like #90, so try with this eyes for the new logo. I'm not sure with or without the "tears", so try two ways.
- All around this (and I think it's where my idea is brilliant ^^), you create the face of a new panther, perfectly inserted in the rest. I see a panther with design rather simple. Think that I want to use this for tattoos, for projection in screens with leds, etc. I see a panther rather aggressive, with the mouth open.
- With this concept, the project can be decline in many ways : just the eyes - the eyes with the writing - just the panther - everything together! Killer, no?! ^^
Sorry for the job : you think $350 for all this? I'm almost sure you win, with that. The only reason you don't win would be that you don't find pretty panther and good font (but I think it will be not difficult for you), or suddenly a lot of people don't like your project, but that's not what I hear for the beginning of the tournament...
