where would you want the est 1876 included ?

Sorry, also another one that includes 'Est. 1876'

Thanks.

absolutely . i'll just submit both .

Also, relative to the above request - could we see another version where in faster, italic style writing we see 'Celebrating 150 years' as opposed to 'Valley Of Champions'...
Thanks.

i'll prepare a version , and get back to you as soon as i'm done . may take a few minutes ...
Many thanks.

Hi David,
Many thanks. Wondering if we could see the '150' element in the logo slightly larger - you can make room by simply placing the 'Valley Of Champions' outside & underneath the Widden logo border.

Just an information , no strings attached : I have finished a version of this particular design with small adjustments , changed colors a bit , reworked the gold gradient, and added small details for clarity . let me know if you are interested in seeing it.
again, no strings.

Thank you.if you need anything please let me know

Hi David,
Thanks - this logo is in consideration. Will know soon.

i had one more, but i got caught up in work and didn't realize the contest was over :) ... thanks a lot .

I, personally like this one.
But...

this and #287 . two different versions , with slogan and complementary text below the logo.
just hope i got your directions right.
thanks

leave the wreath there and writing under the logo celebrating 150 years?
or move the wreath and slogan under the logo ?
just to get it right. thank you

try moving Valley of Champions underneath the logo and also try celebrating 150 year under there too

Thank you for both your comments.
I'll adjust the gold to be more flat looking, less shiny/lighting effect.
if you have a particular font in mind (as part of your branding) i'll be happy to use it.
i'll prepare a few versions with thicker border , flat gold, and different font for 150.
thanks again.

try different fonts on the 150

Try making the boarder of the logo solid gold not a thin gold insert.

Try and make gold less wavy and more a solid gold look
