Good artistic ideas and execution. #5, #4 are close to our original concept. The stylized wings of #4 are interesting and workable for our needs, The protruding wings of #5 are attractive for a print or sticker emblem, but may be problematical for a pilot's mission patch, which is one use of this emblem. Could we try making the aircraft smaller and have it fit within the circle? Please don't discard this one though. We like the red and yellow rays of the Arizona flag, it would be interesting to see that in #4. In the Arizona flag the red and yellow rays are adjacent without the intervening white, though the white may be more artistically appealing in the final analysis....interesting to see both. The LAN MAP reference in #5 and #4 is a MUST for us....it needs to be incorporated into any winning design. #9 is a clever approach. To be workable for us it needs to incorporate the LAN MAP acronym, and should have an enclosing border. #7 is an interesting start; again it needs LAN MAP worked into it. The airplane silhouette is an appealing element, but would be better for us if larger and recognizably a Cessna high wing aircraft (there should be lots of clip art of such a silhouette). The varying thickness of the border is fine, but perhaps should encompass the entire border. Remember, one of the applications is production as a cloth flight jacket emblem, so the border must be practical for that application. We also like the identification of the state of Arizona as a location for this project. The use of elements of the state flag, or an outline of the state boundary is effective.
Thank you all for your efforts. These are quite professional and we are hopeful of converging on a perfect emblem for our project!
