Thank you for your entries. We like #71 the most. We like the graphic and would like to see the words to the right of it (we more often need a horizontal layout) similar to #66 but the words layed out more similar to #70 but in a san serif font (not the same one as 66-68). Could you also try a version with the hand in multi-colors (doesn't have to be rainbowish like our current logo or even the same colors necessarily).
Nice variations. What we like: the color style of #92 and the layout of #89. Let's try those together with the font as it is and also that layout with the font #86.
#140 really has caught our attention. We haven't had a chance to re-rank things yet but it will go to a top position. We may want to try a couple to things with it, just to see, we'll let you know.
With #140 the 'workshop' in gray doesn't quite work for us and it may not be good in just black either (since it will change the design element too much); could you do something with the words, maybe using color? Not sure what... Whatever you think will look good. Thanks.
BTW, we really think that #96 nails the concept we thought we were going for when we started the contest and gave the direction to have 'continuity with our current logo' but an 'updated look'. (but now we've started liking some of the other creative ideas more).
#244 is interesting. Now at the last minute, we are thinking that the hands on the SIW may only make sense to us because of our frame of reference (the hand in the current logo), but for our clients who will never see the old logo, the hands have no meaning, nor do they say anything about us -- wish this comment would have come sooner -- it does make some sense.
