I like the depiction of the Tahoe Flyer in #10. The mountains I think are ok but the balloon doesn't work fro me. I would also be curious to see what Lake Tahoe Balloons would look like if you arched the "Lake Tahoe" similar to how the Napa Valley" Arched in our Napa Valley Balloons logo.
Ok so let's try a couple more things. I'd like to reduce the numbers of colors. Let's eliminate the green and try a couple different color combos. Preferably keep it to two colors total. So maybe try making the mountains the same color as the font, try a blue balloon to match the boat. Just rotate through colors but keep it at two maybe at most, three colors. I'd also like to see the space between "Lake Tahoe Balloons" and the graphic increased a little.
Ok, so you win if you remove the boat. I do like the boat but the logo is cleaner without it. Also please remove the little section of the basket that reaches up toward the balloon and make the basket even/identical on both sides. Once you have made these changes please resubmit and I will declare you the winner. Thanks! -Gabe
