I Aragon - thanks for the additional concept. I am so far disappointed that I don't have more initial concepts to look at. I hope more will come in the next day. I am going to rank you because I don't want to rank previous versions of the same designer multiple times... I'd rather rank 3 different concepts as my top 3. However, I want to give you a hint:I would really like to see something that is not a circle. I think more bright and vivid colors would help, although I like your palette, just maybe not as neutral (it shows the sun beams behind the tree nicely, although the tree may be too thick)
I would also like to see the letters much larger as this will be an entry sign on a highway and I want it to be easy to read.
