I really like your direction on #49 just a few comments:
1. Would love it if all 3 pieces of the knife were the same height instead of gradually getting smaller. 2. Would love like a tan or grey background inside and barely extending outside the circle. 3. A little bit less distress on the mark... I like some, but a little more subtle. 4. Maybe a little more depth or detail inside the mark, some texture, etc. (See the Bottlerocket logo from the creative brief)
We like #102 - maybe try one where the brown area is slightly bigger than the other 2 blade parts and thicker (just not taller) - does that make sense? Also, maybe one with no distressed look to it at all?
