I like the font ideas and the "beveled" look on the shield. I would like to continue to experiment with these ideas, perhaps incorporating a "chrome" or "stainless steel" look that could be used for a wall-mount cut out of polished metal. Some additional variations on the font would also be great.
I like the simplicity and strength of the font in entry #29 and the shield looks nice. Could you play around with a few more ideas on the font...with a little more "design" element? There have been some good submissions, but I don't think anyone has nailed it yet...so it is still open for a winner! I like the shield, but I think it should be a little smaller.
Thanks so much for your creative ideas. Contest ends in 11 hours, so if you have any final ideas, please make sure you submit them prior to close of contest.
