The StashLogo Design Contest

Would like to be able to use the emblem / abstract mark with or without the wordmark, and vice versa. Abstract mark may be laser etched (no color) into metal clip of The Stash product, so simpler abstract mark is preferred. Logo needs to work on both black & white backgrounds.

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

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked 1st - 10th. We like to earn points.
~~ After your contest closes it will enter Judging phase. You can re-rank designs in Judging.
~~ While in Judging, the designer ranked in first place can submit revisions

Extended so the contest will not end on long weekend.

Thanks to everyone so far for your entries. There are many good choices and I appreciate the efforts to make improvements. I want to give some general feedback to all (without breaking contest rules), including any designers that may be working on submissions.

I definitely prefer the yellow to the orange, so far. I probably prefer the use of silver (or a brushed metal effect) to the use of white as a color.

I prefer the emblem shape that resembles the clip, though so of the rounder entries look very cool, are growing on me and I have not ruled them out.

I am going to move some of the variations to the "Not Preferred" category, at least temporarily to declutter the page. Please do not take offense as I will move them back later as I will want these variations. I want to be able to use the emblem and name alone and/or together and on different color backgrounds.

Thanks everyone!
Steve
