Ok here goes, something a little abstract,
my waves icon which also represent course/heading changes (eg following a chart)
The icon gives it an overall nautical technical feeling.
The horizontal layout suits websites and publications, and the icon can be split up
and the single parts can be used as design elements in publications.

Let me know if you like it

cheers
Julian

Hi Julian,

I don't think this one will work. Waves are a bit overused in this business. Especially in blue.

And I think you're right ... this whole thing of cruising guide books and electronic charts for boaters is kind of abstract.

We don't have the rocket in PhotoRocket or the robot in GetRobo ...

But I'm hoping you can find the "snowflake" icon in my Oasis Air Conditioning. [wink]

Keep 'em coming!

Best,

Mark

Hi Folks,

I really don't know how this "ranking" and "not interested" metaphor is supposed to work.

But, unfortunately, I think it may mislead someone (and that someone could be you or me) into believing a concept is still alive if it's really not. That and Diana and I are trying not to hurt anyone's feelings. So we're probably leaving too much in the "ranked" column.

Remember, this is all new to us so please forgive our blundering.

Here's what I'd like to do and how you should interpret the next round of sorting:

1. If it's ranked, it's still alive and I assume you are working and improving that design along the lines of what we've either publicly or privately commented. I also assume you are generating new concepts because, so far, NO ONE IS WINNING. We are not satisfied with even the leaders (high rankings) ... otherwise we would have ended the contest earlier versus extending it. Make sense?

2. Otherwise, it's in the "not interested" column. Earlier, crcdesigns explained to me how to re-order everything at the end of the contest so as many people as possible get credits, and the leading designs all get ranked in the appropriate order (see above post). Never fear, I will absolutely do that at the END of the contest.

3. But for now anyway, the ranked entries are too clogged and they also aren't putting enough fire into either of us. Me, to drill down and focus on designs that could win the contest, and you to abandon concepts that shouldn't really be ranked and not competitive ... when bringing forth a new concept would serve you better.

So please do not be insulted when some concepts go quickly into the not interested column. Let's both communicate and focus on the potential winners!

And by the way, thanks once again everyone for all of the hard work and patience you're demonstrating,

So here goes ...

Best, Mark
