Our Ideas & Additional Information
Since this may be used as an album cover I prefer - Maroon 5 "Songs about Jane" arrangement with "Snake Farm Zoo" as the title of the album with a stylistic fonts.
And instead of a woman it should be a lemur and a snake as the character(s) or possibly some other natural "Van Gogh" like concept of nature or even a Claude Monet style impression.

#1 This is nice, but the Monet idea is more of a fall back. I'd like to focus on the Maroon 5 simplistic "flowing character" idea specifically on the lemur suggestion first due to the fact that the lemur is one of the recognizable faces for the animal conservation project as is the snake. The owner recently wanted to change the name of the project from "Rescue" to "Snake Farm Zoo" - so I wanted to interject that before there are any additional entries.
I want it to grab a child's attention yet artful enough to maintain the interest of an adult. But I would not want to put more than one character focus on the cover. And I'd like it artistic and impressionable like the curves on the Maroon 5 cover. Not just a drawing of an animal. This entry could be improved with a vague image of a lemur and snake in the background, less purple and possibly a brighter yellow.

#2 I like it. Vague and stylish. I would also like some vague representation of the lemur as well. Nice bold lines, but lacks the "focal point" the maroon 5 cover captures. And the project is actually called "Snake farm Zoo". The "King Midas Records" is just the label name.

#7 Very nice and meaningful.
But I feel this design would certainly be more directed towards children.
I am looking for something more reminiscent of an early impressionist art design painting that may hang in a gallery as an art piece.
What I'm looking for may attract a child's attention, but most likely only an adult could appreciate the artistic aspect.

#16, #17 Awesome, and I don't know how you could put the snake element into without distracting too much from the current picture - but it's very nice

#12 I like it, but it's very busy. It has kind of a tribal feeling to it. This can be good and bad as I prefer a more generic artistic genre. But it does incorporate both animals.

#16 I would like to see how this would look with the semblance of a snake in there hidden somewhere and with brighter colors with the green and maybe have the blue replaced with a bright yellow (even though as they're nocturnal and I like the night feeling) I like the art - but I want to see if brighter colors might grab a kids attention.

Scott there was no category for what I was going after. The contest required me to select something. This category may be inaccurate, but I thought it was the closest thing.

#18 I would like to see the words a little larger and this does capture the attention and curiosity of children. It's not as much as a van gogh painting as I was looking for, but my marketer said this would be the best.

#22 This is a nocturnal animal and you captured that, but since the zoo is closed at night - maybe you could use some daylight bright yellow.
