#116 is your best yet. Great job. Can you play with the font and make the box a little bigger so that the insulation can be white. Asbestos is most often white. And if the pipe was grey.
I have a dilemma and a question. There are elements of the designs from three different designers (you being one of them) that I like very much and would like to see combined into one logo. It would be unethical of me to ask any one of you to take an idea from the others without compensation to the others so I’m asking the three of you would you be comfortable with collaborating in some way? If so I’d work out equal and equitable compensation for each. It might be better than trying to pick one winner and still not be 100% happy.
I know this is an unusual request but I want to get the best logo and it is important to me to operate ethically and honorably.
I can not accurately answer. I think that you could request from us to include elements in logo anyway. As CH you have these rights. It's a question how similar will these elements be. For us it is possible to collaborate with other designers and share with the prize. If you think that you should to split the prize, you may want to check with the site administrator to clarify these questions.
I'm interested in having you collaborate with EnzoBluebird. I very much like your graphic in #124 but I like the NEAR and New England Abatement Resources on his #89. I think the combination would look great.
