Michael HyattLogo Design Contest

I think the challenge here is to keep it simple and build on my existing branding. Whatever is designed must fit with what I already have. (My new blog design has only been in place since February. I am not prepared to do something that is a radical departure.)

I kind of like #30, but the color needs to be blue: #000033.

As I am looking at these, I'd like to see the logo integrated into my current logo on my blog, like #30. It's difficult to evaluate it without see it in context. Thanks.

Wow. I'm impressed with what I am seeing. I am moving my daughter into her dorm room today, so I won't get a chance to comment specifically or rank these until Monday morning. Thanks to everyone who is participating.

One more idea: what about a crest made up of a "talk bubble" that is kind of rectangular in nature like the comment bubble I use on my site to indicate the number of comments a particular post has. It could either have my initials inside the bubble or maybe stylized a silhouette of a person. The "talk" part of the bubble (the descender) could be pointing to my title ("CEO, Thomas Nelson Publishers").

I am trying to learn the ropes here and understand the proper etiquette. For example, I am seeing things I want to combine, but they are by two different designers. Hmmm.

Dear Ch

Please take a moment to review the "Ranking and General Tips" as compiled by one of our designers (Bugy) https://logotournament.com/forum/general_discussion/914. Also, Please consider ranking the designs rather than eliminating the points we gather are valuable even if we do not win your contest. thankls

Thanks so much to everyone who participated. I have seen some terrific entries and will be making my decision soon. All the best.

Michael, Just wanted to say as a believer I am very familiar with your company...I actually met my wife at a Christian Bookstore of all places....LOL....I'll be checking out the blog!
