Thanks so much for these updates! They look wonderful. We’ll be moving a couple others into the top spot for more updates, but your designs are among our favorites. Thank you again!

Got you back. Thank you for reinstating and your time!

could you plz put me temporarily as 1st to submit the requested modifications?

Design reinstated.

But to be able to submit new font variations as per your request, i need to be ranked temporarily as 1st.

Best,
Zidane.

Hi, Zidane. Could you please reinstate your design? Our ownership likes your design a lot, but they'd like to see the concept with other font/color or other subtle variations. Thank you!

should I reinstate this one too?

Thank you for your work in this logo tournament. If you're receiving this message, you are a finalist in our estimation. This is probably not the way most clients run their logo tournaments, but the nature of our business doesn't allow for ample or regular communication among stakeholders. For that reason, please consider yourself still in the running for the prize. As marketing director of our company, I still need to share most of these concepts with our key stakeholders, get their input, and then run that information past the owner of the company (who will make the final determination after discussing with me). Please also understand that the Christmas/holiday season makes it all the more difficult to get feedback promptly, so we will likely take this tournament right up until the final day...or hours. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we might be temporarily moving you for some final tweaks. All of your work has been appreciated!

Thank you!

I have yet to share the final designs with all of the stakeholders. I'd appreciate it if you would consider reinstating. Thanks.

Thanks for these updates!

subtle smile below the bluejay

how about #398 ?

Like the font and smile, but the bluejay feels a little disjointed from the rest of the logo

replaced the plant w/ the bluejay, kindly check #394

We decided we want to avoid plant or flower images. Just smiles and/or bluejay images.

Thanks for your designs! I have some feedback to provide before the end of the blind phase. I've just spoken with the company owner about the designs that have come in so far. Some of you will be moving position as a result. But I want to implore you to please keep your designs in the contest, as I'll be getting more feedback over the next couple days. A few things the owner is commenting on that I'd like to emphasize before blind phase ends: (1) He is very much set on a blue and grey color scheme. He's not interested in greens anymore. (2) He is not interested in plant images, so no more logos with stems, shoots, trees, or fields, etc. (3) He does like the idea of trying to incorporate a bluejay (city mascot) into the design, though he's not demanding it and likes many designs without them. (4) He has said he does not want a logo with a cursive or handwritten-looking font. (5) He does not want a design with abbreviations or initials of the name. I hope this is helpful to you, and again, I appreciate your design work!

updated #250

I wanted to pass along right now in the blind phase that -- regardless of where your designs currently stand in the ranking -- you are not out of consideration for our top design. I run this tournament on behalf of our owner who only has the chance to give feedback periodically. So until I hear from him and other stakeholders, your ranking means very little. All this to say, please do not withdraw any designs (unless I've pointed out a glaring problem), and please do not assume you're out of (or in) the running based on your current position. Thanks for all your work, and I'll try to provide as much helpful feedback as I can going forward.

Nice!

Thank you!

Kindly check #167

See my previous comment.

I don't think this design is as strong as your last one that's similar to it.

Thank you for the feedback!

Kindly check new ideas #110 #111

Best,
Zidane.

Nice use of the "R" to form the smile. The owner seems to really like this style of logo.
