Although, based on Entry #56, it appears you figured it out.
My references (1:00, 3:00, or 12:00) were to the points on a clock dial.
For example Entry # 56 is pointed toward 12:00; Entry # 45 is pointed toward 6:00; Entry 46 is pointed toward 4:00.
In my vision of this, the point should be either horizontal toward the copy (3:00); rising toward the copy 1:00; or Headed straight up, as you portrayed in Entry #56. (12:00)
At this point, there are six candidates that I consider to be equal contenders in this contest. If you receive this message, you are one of them. Congratulations.
The current ranking is roughly in the order that they were submitted. Don't attach a lot of significance to the ranking at this stage.
The current rankings are about the body of your work rather than a single design. For those of you who submitted multiple entries, there may be aspects of one that we may wish to see incorporated with another of your designs. So, don't withdraw lower ranked submissions at this point.
For some reason, most submissions chose to concentrate on a couple of specific color combinations, although I did not prescribe that. Are there other color combinations you would suggest?
One of the things that I will be considering in this final round is how the logo will look on certain backgrounds. (White and Black, obviously) What backgrounds would you recommend for your submissions?
I will be back shortly with specific notes for each of you.
I appreciate each of your efforts, and thank you again for your participation.
Entry # 83 Lets move ".com" down to extend the point team line Align the slogan "Sell at the tip of the spear" to flush right under that extended line Let's try the arrow at 2:00
Do you have additional color combinations you would like to suggest for your basic designs?
I would like to see how your design looks on a black background. If you have a suggestion for another effective background color for your design, I would like to see it as well.
