Riviera PartnersLogo Design Contest

Hi there. Here's my take on your logo. It's somewhat fun and loose, yet structured and modern.
All feedback is welcome. Thanks.

Hello - wanted to let you know that we have extended our contest to account for the long Thanksgiving holiday.

Thank you for your participation in our contest!

We reviewed some of the designs in your portfolio and we like the work you did with the Strive logo. Contemporary and hip is what we are looking for.

Thanks for your comment. I can try the same treatment I used for the Strive logo on the FRK logo, but I'm not sure how I would do that, being that the color scheme for FRK is very different. My design proposal for the Strive contest was rejected so I'm able to use it again as I please, but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking for.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for responding - I think the same treatment might be cool. For this treatment specifically, it might be interesting to stray a bit away from our desired color scheme (obviously the closer to the original, the better) just for testing sake. Does that make sense?

Gotcha. Ok, I've uploaded several options. Let me know if any of them fits with what you're looking for. I'm trying to think outside of the box here and go for something different from what everyone else is doing.

Any comments or ideas, just let me know.
Cheers!

Thanks for putting those together. Unfortunately they didn't come together as we had envisioned - our letters are pretty limiting (our color palette, as well).

Any other ideas? Feel free to throw graphics around; at this point were pretty open to anything. We are really trying to stray from a corporate logo kind of feel.
