HI - could you try to incorporate the runner crossing the finish line graphic in #1 with your concept (basically replace your man with his man, and have him crossing a finish line)?
No offense but I am afraid this would neither be ethical nor possible. This is a concept developed by another designer and he owns the intellectual rights to it.
Client Guidelines Please do not ask designers to use elements or concepts from other designers.
If the idea was initially yours and the designer is using a '' runner crossing a finish line'' because you asked him to,that would be another story.
