Thanks for the submission, makinson. We would like to see you pursue this idea using the red or the gold. Also, try simplifying the circle (we aren't inclined to use the shadow effect as it can often get lost in smaller prints or engravings) and try a more medallion-looking effect.
These are interesting. Could you do a variation of #69 where one solid ribbon wraps around the medallion? Also, try removing the shadow underneath the emblem.
We like #85. We are set on the medallion idea. Something about the black border of the medallion isn't working because of consistency concerns. Let's try dropping the ribbon and working more with the medallion itself. First, try making it all gold. Let's see where that takes us.
Thanks a lot for your participation in the tournament! You're talented!
#142 is looking really nice. Can you take out the ribbon underneath and leave it a solid medallion? Then let's see what we might want to change, if anything, about the typography.
