Thanks for the entries. I have a couple thoughts that might help you. 1) I prefer less emphasis on the rocket...the rocket can be a replacement for an arrowhead on the graph but I am not entirely sold on the idea that it should be the focal point of the logo. 2) in entries #92 and #93 I think you might have picked up on some comments I wrote for some of the other designers in that one idea I had after I posted the entry is that an image I think might be good is a crystal ball. I have not seen anyone pull this off yet, but I am wondering about a layout of a crystal ball and inside the ball is a staggered line that could represent the mountains (as we are located in the Colorado Rocky Mountain region) as well as a revenue line of increasing revenue or profitability. Use a smaller rocket image to represent the arrowhead. 3) The company name should be below the image. and finally 4) try both the short and long tagline (like you have already done). Having said all that, I would say from your current entries #84 and #94 are my favorites. (I am not entirely sold on the selection of green you used, but something like that is a minor change. Thanks again!
If possible I would like you to repost your design. I have extended the contest by 2 days to give some of my constituents an opportunity to vote on the final selection. I have been unable to get the full round of voting completed before the current close window so I requested a two day extension. Thanks!
Fastpencil, you had posted a design similar to #122 with a white background. Did you withdraw that design? That was in our top 10 and I cannot find it anymore.
In entry #135 can you change font color to be all black for Useful Rocket Science and use a blue color for Effective Process Improvement? Also, I do not like the lighter green and blue, can you try it with a darker (perhaps emerald) green and a darker blue?
Also, I am pretty sure I want the company name to not be all caps and only capitalize the U, the R, and the S. No spaces between the words either please. Another green option might be closer to the green you used in entry #94. Thanks again!
can you change the font color for the "Rocket" to the same green at the base of the arrow? also, not sure what font type is used in #95, but I like that...
for entry #191, do you think there might be a way to have a subtle rocket at the end of the line vs. the arrowhead you have on that entry now? I do not want the rocket to be a distraction or a major component to the design, but if it could be incorporated that would be my preference.
i can't submit the revision because contests already close...:) While your contest is in judging mode, only the 1st rank designer who can submit a new entry. So if you need other designer update his/her work, you may re-rank and place it as 1st rank for awhile.
