Our Ideas and Additional Information:
We have an existing logo that has served us well for 16 years. You may see it at www.starfleetyachts.com The problem with the old logo is that it needs updating and we would like to include a sketch or the lines of a modern entertainment yacht like our STAR GAZER yacht (see website) in the logo so that at a glance, people will know what we do. We do not want the exact lines of one of our yachts but a modern, stylized version that represents a sleek modern yacht. This is important as some internet directories only allow your logo, not a photo. For example in a bridal directory, the bride should see that we offer cruises on a modern yacht.
May 29th update – The following is just some thoughts about the logo design based on the few samples that I've seen so far and do not represent contest requirements.
1. I love the most recent stylized sketch of the yacht.
2. How about putting a "*" star above the word "STAR" and the yacht above the word "FLEET" that way the images are tied to those words
3. I like the yacht moving from left to right not right to left
4. The logo "look and feel" should be simple, elegant, modern nautical
Example:
It's Happening Here
(image of star) (image of yacht moving from left to right)

Dear CH could you please leave us some feedback so it just helps us - instead of just marking designs as " not intrested" - so we really know whats thats you are really wanting - thanks
Greetings Everyone, this is my first time using the site so thank you Tahia for sending me to the post to read how the rankings work. I have extended the design deadline by 2 days so I can do a better job of giving designers feedback. -Tom
The look and feel of the logo should be simple, elegant, modern, and nautical. The yacht image should be a stylized version depicting the excitement of a cruise. The "It's Happening Here" tag line should be easy to read. It seems that Cap/Small Cap for the "STAR FLEET" makes it easier to read. Thank you all for your help.
