Well done, professional and crisp with #3, & #4. I like that.
I would like to see entry #3 with the black arm holding the heart deleted, keep rest. Lets also see it stand alone with no words. And this time make the big red heart an earthy green.
I like the concept of the hand in #2! Especially the tribal lines. Colours are cool too. Just not sure it will work as an emblem due to the details. Can you show me another hand concept as an emblem only? Make a hand out of maori tribal lines.
I chatted with Marc on this hand design (#2) and we both really like this fresh direction.
He was asking for a "Mauri tribal" influence in it. Here's a link with some Mauri style patterns: http://www.newmediadesign.co.nz/blog/?tag=maori They are basically swirlies, a lot like the pattern you are currently using. Can we please see a few more colour variations.
If it does't take too long Marc had a few thoughts: 1. A circle filled in with a tribal pattern, then the hand : all white and within the hand a heart in the center of the palm also in the tribal pattern.. 2. Exactly the same as you have created but with a heat in centre of the hand and incorporating more of that Mauri pattern.. 3. More colour variations.
liking the 2 ranking logo .. but image seems a little slouchy. can you make him have a long back of neck - aligned respt of spine. head slightly bowed. more pointed chin? Can we see this in an emblem style with some circle variations?
