We like your balloon very much, but perhaps the red/maroon part a little shorter (more white) and not tilted.
I'd like to use the original logo in its original dimensions and placement of the company name, but delete the black line under the name.
We like the sunrise idea since most ballooning is in the early morning, but not with the blue circle sky. We like the idea of a white back background with a "little" bit of clouds.
We also like a little grass from the tree going right, with some flowing tall grass at the tree base fading (getting shorter) toward the right as if the wind is blowing slightly and to the right is in the distance. We also like the idea of some rolling hills on the right below / behind the balloon.
We also like to have the slogan "FUN is part of LIFE!" under the whole thing spread out with "is part of" being 1/2 the size of "FUN" and "LIFE!".
I think the balloon needs to be virtical and not slanted (most flying is virtical orientation unless there is dangerous winds).
The grass should be with a straight line at the bottom, thin thickness, and under the company name and not too much, just a little starting at the tree and getting smaller toward the right. I see you are using the grass as rolling hills, but we think it conflicts with the straight words (the company name and slogan) and we want to keep the words in a straight line.
I think the wind curls may be distracting so not those, but your #42 is the best one. With the changes to the grass, making the mountains perhaps layered forward to give depth, and make the total design area more rectangle than square - spread the clouds out more (not more of them just more spread out). Your blue "FUN is part of LIFE!" is good.
I don't think you gave me your email to send to you my original logo EPS file, if I did then I'd like you to use that exactly for the tree and company name (only deleting the black underline), but if you don't have the EPS file send me your email and I'll forward the EPS file to you. Your version appears different in small ways and the text does not appear correct for some reason. Thanks.
In regards to #46:
I think I'd like to see no clouds behind the bottom of the balloon (can delete it) and move the 3rd from top cloud to the top left above the tree to be the topmost cloud. I'd like to have the grass similar to the picture I submitted, a flat thin line from left to right with a little (less than the picture) flowing grass around the tree and then getting smaller until at the end of the company name it is just a thin green line. The size of "FUN is part of LIFE!" is good, but could you make them the brown color like in the tree and use the font Copperplate Gothic Light? Is there a way to put layered mountains to make it look like they start closer and then go backwards toward the sun and move the sun to the left side of the mountains?
dear contest holder thank you for the feedback and your interest in my work. It is a pleasure to participate in your contest. My version appears different in small ways because I have redesign your logo :) I am sorry but due to LogoTournament regulations .I can't give you my e-mail. I can only do that after the contest ends which is not much of help. But I have used the redesign logo as an indication of the composition overall. I can use the file you have uploaded and work on the changes you requested. kind regards Tzina- lotus creative
