Thank you so much for your design entries! It's inspiring to see what designers come up with. As I make an initial review these designs seem a bit too metallic and sharp edged. The region of the world where we are is lush with water, trees, mountains, and our organization's mission is all about the engagement of people and relationships with the living God so something a little warmer, more active might be helpful. I don't know if this helps. But that's my initial feedback.
Entry #6 is clean and clear. It's a bit metallic and hard edged and the font style is more boxy than I like. My favorite part of entry #4 is the waves and reference to the waters that are all over this region that we cover. The compass and nautical hints for Entry #2 make it enjoyable. The N plus a cross in the middle seem a bit too heavy or busy or something. Thanks for a great first round of artistry! This is really fun to see what you see after reviewing our brief.
