Great job on #16 ... would only want to add a horizontal line separating EDUCATION and the tag line. I am concerned that #17 and #18 are too big - wide and tall. My experience is that wider logos are easier to work with than taller logos.
Your #40 is still my first choice. Can you make the EDUCATION a bit taller ... not much, just a little. Also, I would like EDUCATION to be in black like the tag line.
That said, if this were the winning choice, what colors/changes would you consider making? Would you be proud to have this design represent my branding? You're the designer, I am curious about your thoughts.
Yes I am proud and very happy with my design on this one. kind of color, overall shape and the concept. I make a few changes to the color choice. #60 as you requested word 'education' slightly larger and black, #61 I was turning color in the icon, and #62 I made with a solid color (good for printing). I hope you like the revision and my opinion.
Congrats! You are the winner ... or will be when I close out the contest. My business partner and I are having a difficult time choosing between #72, #68, and #61. Would you be willing to send all three .eps files to me? If not, I TOTALLY understand ... and we will need another day or two to pick THE winner. Let me know, and thanks for working so hard on this. Much appreciated.
