Great job! Thanks for explaining your concept. I might not have ranked it had I not known the purpose of the different elements. Love all three and the fact that they can stand apart from each other. Not sure what, if anything, we'd like to see different. If you have any other variations we'd like to see them.
This would look pretty cool animated for your website. I can imagine the shield spinning showing the face as it is here, and on the reverse would be the initials JG.
After much deliberation, we think the top of the shield is a little too "knights of the round table"-looking for us. We like the other elements, including the banner. Can you refine the shield a bit and take the "swirlies" off the end of the banner and leave just the middle part?
#143 - o.k. - don't like the Star of David. Thanks for that view. :) Like #144 the best -- good font, simpler looking banner. Like the use of the initials - but maybe make them the same color instead of different. Would like to see a more refined, not so cat-head-like shield. No offense -- but it looks like it has "ears". :)
#166 - little smaller and lighter color font on Properties. Little less "beefy" outline to the shield. May or may not use it -- just want to see how it looks. Thanks!
Glendon -- there were so many last minute changes we were racing through I lost track of the size of the shield. Is #173 or #176 the thinnest? #173 looks thinner to me and what we like. I know you can't make any more submissions right now -- just want to get some feedback from you. The #1 & #2 entries are very close in the running. :) Thanks for hanging in there with me!
#173 is the thinnest shield. I can still make it thinner for you if you like, but I think that is a very good balance and just the right amount of weight to the shield. Let me know if there is anything else you need. Thanks Glendon
If there are any tweaks to the designs you would like to see, the 1st ranked designer can still submit revisions to thier designs while the contest is in judging mode. So if you need to see any revisions on a design, simply place that designer in 1st place and ask for the revisions you would like to see. Thanks! Glendon
After much, much, much deliberation, we decided to go with the other #1 ranked entry. We loved your design but were afraid many of the elements would not translate to the applications we want to use it for. There really wasn't anything different we felt you could do to improve this design. It was perfect the way you had it.
Thank you so much for participating. You made this an interesting and exciting experience. We wish you the best in other contests! -- joshuaadministrator
