Stillwater ArmoryLogo Design Contest

Hi ! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank and re-rank a variety of designs to get a variety of new entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered.
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you are going to see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested"
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked in the top 10. We like to earn points.

~~ NOTE: While in JUDGING mode, the designer ranked in 1st can still submit revisions.

I am looking for a more simple design that takes characteristics or design cues from our original logo...not just the original logo reworked. I want the design to have a cool edge to it and be striking and eye catching. It will be used on hats and other merchandise. I want the logo on the hat to catch someones eye from across the room and make them want to investigate further.

I am loving the entries so far. While I want simple, I would like to add a splash of color to the images. We typically use metallic colors in our logo but I do not want to necessarily limit the designers. Our current logo uses a metallic silver for enhancement.
