This makes it so hard for me to choose if this is number one or number two overall in the contest with the new transitioning design. Maybe make the green and orange a bit lighter like in entry #27 and that would be my favorite design of this concept. Nice job!
Hi again Jeremy, thank you for the great brief and great contest :-) here are some variations of my concept, I present warm grey and cool grey outline, hopefully you like it.
It has exactly same colors as entry no.#76, but with grey outline instead of black, and the outline has impact to the overall look and feel let me know what you think :)
The one that I have ranked #1 now, remove the glossy center effect. I can't decide if I like it with or without the gloss. I find it kind of distracting to read with the glossy center though. Nice work.
