Thanks so much. Did you notice we posted an update to the message boards? We have a much stronger idea of what it is we're looking for now. That should help. Also- the rankings are now a much stronger indication of the type of image we're leaning towards. We are really liking the idea of simple lines, etc.
We have decided against the green/orange combo (I'm actually not sure why so many submissions had that, as it's not something that we ever requested). If any orange or yellow is used at all- it should be very subtle and only as a highlight. It should not be a predominant color.
I do like that this image is more abstract- but this particular submission reminds me of a pair of lips (although I know it is a bird). Try going a little less feminine. And perhaps a straighter font- but one that has some tone or definition to it (slight shading, fading, texture, or shadow, etc.)
We really appreciate the continued effort and response to our contest.
