Thank you for your hard work. I really like the crips classy, rich style you have chosen. Can you work more on the actual lotus flower to make it look a bit more literal. The idea is that I would like to use the full logo with the wording most of the time, but I would also like to extract the flower to make it more iconic and let it stand alone. With the current lotus flower I think its ok within the overall design, but alone it wont be recognizable by customers. thank you
I still like your first design better. Can you maybe place the flower upright instead of a straight ahead look? so that you can see the sides of the flower and its 3d shape. The flower in your design could be mistaken for a sunflower because its a straight on angle.
