Hi Nat, thanks so much for joining my contest and for taking the time to create these logos! :)
Oooh... #8 is such a clever take on the Mac OS X Finder icon! I really like the green color and the friendly font. I wonder what #8 would look like if we added 2 eyes and a smiley face like the Finder icon? I'm trying to figure out if we can add a little bit more of a fun feeling to it?
Regarding #9 and #10, that character looks a little too "reserved" for my taste. Perhaps something more adventurous? I really like the feel of the character that you created for the Makai contest at
https://logotournament.com/contests/makai -- I know that character doesn't totally correlate with my slider bars above, but I'm fairly flexible on those slider bars. :)
Thanks again!
Scott
