Thanks again for your submission. We like your attempts and feel that #13 has potential but the lens logo is a little busy. It feels very corporate right now and we're looking for something a little more loose and organic.
The font is a little rigid for what we're after so feel free to throw a few different font arrangements our way. If the idea of incorporating a 'lens' into the emblem isn't working, don't forget to try and play with the 'candela' candle flame. We are really hoping for something simple and effective.
Also - we are now going with 'the candela collective' and are going to lose the 'inc.'....We look forward to seeing some more designs.
