#8 is great and a finalist for us. Like the clean design, the color scheme, and the logo.
#9 is good too, but we'd like all logos to be "on the left" rather than "on top". I think the circular logo is a bit generic, though my colleague loves it and it's his favorite as of now. Really like the circular design, but maybe a new color scheme (blue and black looking great) and a sleeker look would make this the winner we could agree on.
#7 is also interesting. Maybe if it were a little smaller and a little less busy. Good idea though.
Thanks for your submissions! We really like the variations of #9, particularly #34 (our favorite overall as of now) and #41. We just wanted to let you know that we had one design submitted that was removed for plagiarism. We liked the concept so much, though, that we opened the contest back up to give everyone another shot using the "bull logo" idea as a reference. Check out the attached photo on the contest page and the updated creative brief. We'd love if you'd take a crack at it as your designs have been far and away our favorites.
