Thank you so much for so many beautiful designs. At the current moment, we like your #50 the best out of about 100 submissions. There are two days left in the contest so we are excited to see what other logos come in. In the meantime, we wanted to provide you with the following feedback on five of your designs that we have ranked among the top 20 for now:
* We like many of the color schemes you've put together (blue/orange. blue/grey). We would also consider blue/green. * We like the creative elements you have included in a tasteful manner that are navigational in nature (sleek lighthouse, abstract sun) * We like the movement implied in various design elements (wispy waves, sun travelling across the sky) * We like the modern and simple look of #51 * With the exception of #51, we prefer to not have the letters NSA in the design. * We prefer to have "Northern Solstice" on one line and "Advisors" on other line * We don't like the people icons or anything block/generic/corporate.
We hope this feedback is helpful and hope to see more designs from you. Thanks!
number 74 and 130 are very classic and beautiful but after further thought, it is highly unlikely that we will pick a lighthouse to represent our company - we just wanted you to know so you would spend time on other designs. We really like several of your other initial and new submissions; more feedback to arrive separately.
Hey there! Thank you again for the new submissions! Logo 125, 126, and 127 are currently our top three. Your designs definitely stand out from most of the others and they are very sleek and interesting. Here is some specific feedback on the recent logos:
* For 125, please go back to the grey instead of the green. I think that 3rd color seems a little buys. * We like the three colors on 126 and 127 with 2 colors in the logo and 2 colors in the font. Nice approach.
We would like to see some completely new designs and I posted some general feedback to all of the designers as a whole on the main page. Thanks again!
One more thing - I meant to mention that we feel the same way about the boat (47, 48, 128, 129) as we do about the light house. It is absolutely beautiful but probably not an icon that we would use to represent our company as it is too overtly nautical. Having said that, we do like nautical elements if they could be done in a way that is more abstract or with less structure. We hope this is helpful! c&c
We just wanted to follow up with you on your designs. Your #157 remains at the top of our list. So crisp and elegant! No one else has incorporated the letters into the actual design and this makes it unique and eye catching. We were thinking about future usage and thought at some point we may just want the logo element without the words so could you try a variation separating them so the logo could stand alone? It is unlikely that it will be as striking but we would like to just see that for comparison purposes. Also, do you have any ideas for making #125 more streamlined and professional (without being too corporate)? We like those elements a lot and believe it has potential.
Thank you for your additional designs. Your #157 is number 1 going into judging phase which just started.
Here are a few suggestions: 1) Could you continue with a few more options where the logo is separated from the words but without an "N" in the actual logo? 2) We like the placement of the logo in #157 (rather than centered above) so could you try a version where they are just separated there where the two connect. 3) Could you revisit #48 and center that logo above the font that matches the word design in #157? 4) For #157, could you experiment with different fonts (sans serif, slender/unique)? 5) We are open to new concept designs through this final phase.
We appreciate all of your work on our project and we will provide prompt feedback in this final round.
Congratulations on winning our contest! We absolutely love the final design that was selected.
Just to wrap things up, we would also like to receive the following from you in addition to the required file:

We will be using the logo immediately on business cards and our website; once that is up and running, we can send you the URL link if you'd like to email me at charlabrown@gmail.com.
