Midwest Pond and Koi SocietyLogo Design Contest

I made a mistake and transposed the name of the organization in the content; The correct name is : Midwest Pond and Koi Society--I'm SO SORRY!!!

This may help: Some hobbyists in the group spend upwards of $10000 for a single fish. They take their hobby very seriously--travelling to multiple cities to show their fish in contests and flying to Japan to purchase their fist directly from breeders. This may help: https://www.google.com/search?q=all+japan+koi+show&espv=2&biw=1282&bih=578&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CBwQsARqFQoTCL-CxsCsvcgCFUztgAod3YwI9Q

Here are comments from the board of directors that will be voting.

I think we can do alot better than these. The original logo(needs color) shows where we are and what we are. Even the chicago skyline(t-shirt off of pins for the last five years) has some art work. If we want to go generic at least go with a good drawing of a koi. sorry if this offends--- look at the other clubs logos and then tell me if you really want any of the new logos.

I don't really care for any of the logos

Well this is easy. I don't like any of them.

I'm sorry to say that I did not care for any of the logos. I felt that they were a little too generic.

I also didn't care for any of the logo's-they were a little too generic.

If we want to go generic at least go with a good drawing of a koi.

I think the board members are looking for a more realistic representation of a koi. A good koi is powerfully built. The Mid-Atlantic Koi club (http://www.makc.com/) has been successful in that you can itentify their specific variety, for example a kohaku an a shiru utsuri. This may be of assistance: http://www.koi-fish.com/koi-classification.html

Anyone want to take a whack at a Chicago skyline?

Thank you SNgraphics, Fracco, serjunan, EnzoBluebird, vdeny for your hard work on this project!!!
