I like both of your designs - I would love the text to be incorporated into the graphic rather than on a straight line - part of the art, if you will. In number 9 I would also like to see some blue come in.
Number 10 - reminds me of a globe (which is a good thing). I liked the idea from Sevenly.org of incorporating a globe on a stand with the company name inside in some way.
I am sorry to see you take your work off - my partner had not even seen your designs. I was looking for you to put the text through the graphic. You had a great concept and I still have not finalized the five top designers. I understand if you are frustrated but would love to see more
Once a contest becomes copies of copies some designers think it's better to remove their original designs and save them for future contests where the concept also will work and hope the same thing won't happen.
