Hello GP - thank you for getting involved with my case! I am familiar with your work and are an excellent designer.
I appreciate you following the case description, but I feel we are missing out on the excitement factor of this logo. Being that skydiving is one of the most exciting activities to do in the world, I'm not feeling a lot of energy coming off of this design. I'm looking to feel speed, excitement, adventure.
With the grey background of entry #1, it makes me think that these jumpers are jumping on a dark, dreary day. I would be interested in developing a round logo with the lighthouse being much more prominent. The skydivers don't have to be quite so literal...perhaps an image of a parachute that looks more modernized or artistic.
The font is a bit blocky and doesn't represent excitement. It needs to be spiced up.
Many thanks!
James
