#108 has become the subject of debate here. Some don't care for it as it seems to simple to them and the IT placement in the tail makes the manatee look like a penguin, others of us just find something very charming about it.
#109 while not right as a logo has us in stitches. It is an almost perfect caricature of me as a manatee (the smirk is the give away).
fun... I was just having a bit of fun looking at the faces of the manatee... they are sweet in a funny kind of way.
sorry I have not come up with the winning one... but it is a pleasure to play with it. My primary business is promotional merchandise so I try to keep designs simple enough to do on a pen or a mug or a shirt etc.
In person they are actually very expressive. The company name was really picked as a fun name and conversation starter. I worked for a firm in NYC doing they same IT, but now starting my own in Florida. It was a way to include the new local in the process.
I enjoyed these last two submissions and might have to contact you for the head shot after the contest for personal use.
