I made a pinwheel from 5 leaves and I placed it inside a sun, with the sky as the background.
Please let me know if you would like to see any changes.
Thank you.

Thank-you for the submission mahmur. I think your logo is stunning. I really like your color choice, balance of masculine and feminine and the indigenous tone. I don't have any particular suggestions in the moment but will solicit input from my board of directors.

Thank-you for the new entries. Some feedback:

#38 - I like the curved sun rays and contrast between the sky and rays. The leaves add a nice natural feel and convey the idea of wind subtly but perceptibly.
#40 - I like it but prefer the prominence of the sun and color contrast of #40.
#43 - Looks too mechanical. I would like to stay keep the look of the logo on the soft/feminine side. Straight lines/perfect symmetry feel hard, engineered and masculine (to me at least). This effect is softened in #38 & #40.

Ojibwa art from my area has a distinctive look/feel this is rich in color, flowing and interconnected. Here are some examples:

I'm heading to bed but will be in the office in about 10 or 11 hours. You are a very talented artist - thank-you for submitting to my contest.

Thank you and good night!

Hello mahmur. I've decided to go with beezeelogo's #110 because he was able to capture many of the traditional ojibwa elements that are recognized by the native culture here. I would like to send you $50 for your contribution to the process and contest. I need an invoice to justify the cost with my employeer. Can you send me an invoice and instructions for how to send the payment. You can email at: justintilson at gmail dot com.
