Ocean Isle BeachLogo Design Contest

I promise to make comments to help your efforts, to rank often, and to read and respond to comments.
I will be an engaged CH and look forward to your entries. Many thanks in advance for your talent!

Great start! Thank you.

An interesting note that may inspire:
Ocean Isle lies in an east-west direction—giving visitors both sunrise and sunset views.

Fonts/typefaces are all so similar.
Please explore different type treatments?
We are open to all colors as well—NOT just blue and yellow. Ignore any old logos you find on the internet.
We are looking to you designers for a whole new direction.
Thanks.

(Also—the circular shapes we're seeing are fine, but you are welcome to try other shapes.
We are open to stacked or horizontal versions, too.)

More elegant. More expensive.
I wish I had moved the sliders more toward those words.
Is there any way to change the sliders at this point to help you designers?
Thank you.

At this point, we're interest in seeing some downright 'posh' entires; ultra elegant—as if it were an expensive, exclusive beach club.

Are blue & yellow your color palette?

Blue & yellow happen to be in the logos ranked at the top—BUT, it is the design that earned the ranking, not the colors. Please feel free to explore colors! Thanks. : )

Need all entries on flat white backgrounds, please? Thanks.

The contest is in its last 4 hours of the open phase.
Thanks to all who have entered and to those who will enter in this final stretch.
Best of luck!

Congrats to the Top 5!
We may switch designers in and out to allow them to enter revisions.
We are very pleased with the work and plan to show our client our top picks next week.
Many thanks!

ALSO -- if you are ranked (or not yet ranked) please do not withdraw your logos!
If your logo is in the "not interested," you may withdraw if you wish. Thanks.

Still sliding designers in and out of top 5 today -- to allow for revisions, etc.
Will have a solid top 10 by this evening. Thanks agin for your patience and outstanding work!

The client has the logo selections and is asking for some revisions to narrow it down.
We are very close. Thanks for your great work and patience!
