Hi peachdz9:
Now that we've had a little time to digest, we thought we'd share our thoughts:
We like the cleaner look of the type in #6 and #7, and we also like the thoughts (rays of sun and lotus petals) behind the marks. However we're not so sure about the roughness of the marks themselves. We were wondering if the marks could be as clean as the type. What do you think?
Also, with #8, we really like how you've let the exclamation point be the mark, but the type style may be a little too playful - would you be open to exploring this idea a little more?
Thank you so much for your work.
