Hi Raspy - many thanks for a good first try! I really like this logo, but I think there is too much happening with it. I feel as if I have to squint a little to take it all in. I'd also like to see if we can try and keep the logo to three solid colors as this logo will be screen printed. If we can try to keep within the color schemes of red white and blue, I think that my help in terms of my costs associated with screens. I'd like to see some elements reduced in this logo......perhaps take out our logo altogether or remove the moon...I'm not sure, but we need to play with it a bit.
Possible Changes: I think it's a bit too dark (entry #11) and I'd like to see the Palmetto tree and the moon pop out a bit more...I'd like to see them in white if at all possible to bring them more to the forefront. I still get the sense there is a bit too much crowding occurring between the swoop man and the tree..not sure if we can get more spacing there.
Likes: I really like the use of the Carolina Blue or Tarheel blue which is identified with North Carolina. I like that very much combined with the SC state tree....gives you a good sense of our region for sure.
