Diamond Contest
We're sorry, but this contest is presently open to a limited pool of designers.
#2 -- Lips are too pretty and feminie now. Oops! Just some refinement on the shap in #1 I think would be better. #1 is still #1 because it's modern and keeps the name prominent and speaks to buisnesses.
#3 -- Interesting, but too sexy in red or in one color. Font doesn't make name obvious.
#4 -- too sixties, doesn't say MODERN, TECH, SOCIAL NETWORKING.
Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest:
~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage more participation. ~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered. ~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you are going to see. ~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested" ~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation. ~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for designers hard work. ~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

#8 is great. Perfect use of color. Would love to see it with Mary and Petto closer together. Lips was reference to social marketing, but these look to feminine. Is there a way to use a thick RSS Feed symbol at the end of that exclamation point instead? Just a thought...Can't wait to see more!
#5 is nice, but could use more color. Elements are a little disconnected. Would be interested in seeing it with the RSS symbol bolder, more true to the real thing.
#24, I like the gray to black "mary petto" in one of your designs, and like the (smac) in parens in another. Would you be interested in trying one combining those to elements?
Who's going to strangle me? We're going to go with SMAC without the "!"...Will not ask submitted logos to change, but may ask winning submission to remove the "!" if it is present. Sorry..but thank you! We are LOVING these LOGOS!
