Thanks for entering. You really nailed it! This was the kind of style that we were looking for, elegant but trendy. I will hopefully have some comments for you soon.
Though I really loved your designs I am unfortunately not the only one picking the final logo. (there are two others as well) One of my partners felt the icons of #189 and #168 looked to much like a tattoo and therefore not the image we want to convey. But we did agree that your font and color choices is the best we have seen in this competition. So we were wondering if you had in your library somewhere possible a simpler icon or letterform mark that you could adapt that didn't look so much like a tattoo. The other thing we really love about your logos is they have a very polished look to them that makes them look elegant.
