Hey tsquare, thanks for entering and nice portfolio there. I like the grill/fin shape on #17 the best here and like the way you tied the mc in the emblem into the ring on all of them. The red part seems a little big to me and the texture kind of reminds me of bike reflector haha though it is a cool texture but doesn't work for me here. The fonts on #17 are too small for sure. I prefer to see everything on a white background as that will be used most. See also my main comment I will leave for all designers on the contest in a few minutes after this round of rankings concerning fonts and a bonus. Thanks!
Thanks for the new entries, hope you are feeling better. I like the glow on the red section you have going here, one thing that came up with my client on a couple other entries was that the 'automotive' needs to be good sized as he wants customers to see that easily on his sign. I like the simplistic fonts in #52 and #53 and will see what he says about them and #51. Thanks!
