Looking good! Could i please see one without the motto too? One think I like about some of the designs I've seen including yours is that the graphic can be used alone without the text in some places, and together in others.
#27 looking good. Could I please see one with the text height the same as the circle height, keeping the text proportion? The skewing on the circle was a nice touch too.
I'm trying to come up with some more feedback for you, but have hit a block. Your design is one of my more favorites since the beginning.... I'm open to more concepts if you have any ideas...?
