Hello Daniel!! I can see why you've won so many contests (Congrats on that success) The brown along with the shape of your image leads the eye directly to Local Roots. While the green and the root leads to the slogan. What is your thinking behind the O? Also, your image reminds me of one I've seen (in passing) used by an agricultural business in our area and I can't get over that. Even with that said, you're only the second designer to do something that helps make the slogan stand out. Thanks for such a great submission :-)
Very subtle suggestion with the spiraling 'O' ...very nice :-) Unfortunately, its the focal point of the logo so I have to work back to see the business name.
#58 and #70 The images are so strong they are pulling away from the business name. Also, the roots come across as very thorny.
The overall coloring is good and your designs are getting attention from my advisors. Thanks for continued good work :-)
