Catherine:
Thank you for your submission. As you can see, it has been ranked near the top.
If you could present a variation of the logo with a richer blue and define the ball shape a bit more (it appears a bit too rounded - and, no, we are not trying to get it to look like an American football), the effect may be better realized. Would also like to see an incorporation of a rich red (Pantone 186, not sure of the RGB conversion) somewhere as a comparative.
Thank you.
