Revallay Therapeutic MassageLogo Design Contest

To all designers. I would like to stay away from the lotus leaf graphic, as many other spa and massage therapy businesses incorporate the lotus leaf.

To any of the designers: I would like to see a design along the lines of the sample "BLAZE" logo in the sample list. Maybe with the first "A" in REVALLAY being hands forming the "A". Just a thought.

To all designers,
The "ranking" list order is very fluid. Within a couple of days, the rankings will become more meaningful. Thank you all for your creativeness and hard work!

To all designers,
Thank you again for your creativeness. If any of you have any ideas about a logo incorporating a symbolic massage table, I am interested in seeing that.

To all designers,
Please do not withdraw your design immediately if it lands in the "not interested" category. I find myself having to use "not interested" as a holding bin while sorting. I am also getting additional opinions. -Thank you for your creative work.

As a group of designers, you have done and EXCELLENT job to this point. It is going to be very difficult to select the top five for the next phase. Please be patient as we go through the selection process.

To the finalists:
I am grouping the submitted logo in the ranking list by designer for my own benefit. The ranking shown now does not necessarily reflect the actual top choice. The ranking list will be rearranged to accurately reflect the ranking in logo choice. I will be away from Logo Tournament until in the morning (central time zone, US). The serious work on my part will begin then. Thank you again for your efforts.

Finalists,
Do any of you have suggestions about what works or doesn't work if the logo is going to be embroidered? For instance, I know color gradients are not good for embroidery, but your designs do not have this issue. Are there other issues I need to consider?

I am beginning to parse the submissions down to a top two or three from each of you. They will still be grouped by designer until this process is finished.

I am out of suggestions for changes. Unless any of you have something radically different to submit, it looks like the core selection group is done. But feel free to step out of the box in the final day. The last time I used Logo Tournament, several years ago, the winning submission was made only a day or two before the contest ended. Thank you again for your creative work.

Finalists,
I have identified the top five designs/concepts. From here on, I will only be focused on keeping the top five current. The final choice will definitely come from the top five. If your design is not in this list, it means I have decided against the concept, although it will remain in the '"ranked" list for another couple of hours. Please feel free to submit a new concept (not just a color/font variation of your existing concept). If no new concepts are submitted, I will move your designs out of the "ranked" list and pull one of the previous designers in to give them a chance. Again, thank you for your effort and diligence.
