Windswept VillasLogo Design Contest

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

Hi, Farfi!
I am an agency Creative Director and a former LogoTournament designer. I'm pleased to have the opportunity to actually hold a contest having experienced this site so many times from the 'designer side.' I'm excited to see what the wonderful designers on this site create. I promise to provide good direction/feedback, to respond to questions, to rank as many entries as possible, and to follow the hints and guidelines the way every good client should. I anticipate a good contest and a rewarding experience for all.
Thank you, and thanks in advance to all the talented designers who participate!

Please check out my other three contests, too:

Good stuff, gang. The audience for these uber-high-end homes are used to seeing the logos/marks of expensive watches, cars, fashion, jewelry. That same sense of refinement should apply here. Don't want to get too 'beachy' or 'hotel-ish.' Thanks! ALSO: Don't want any of you to feel tied down to blues. Open up with color as you wish.

IMPORTANT: Got a few messages on the same topic I want to address to help everyone...
The 'family' of logos it is not necessary. I only offered up the idea "IF" someone came up with four sibling logos that worked well together. I feel confident that we'll end up choosing individual executions for each. So, PLEASE don't stress the 'package' deal anymore. Pressure is off. Do your thing!

Overall -- still need to crank up the level of sophistication.
Thanks, all! ~Geoff

What a great collection of entries so far. Thank you all!
The higher-ranked entries have swooping wind shapes. I do not, however, want you to feel restricted by this. The abstract wind art works very well in many executions, but is not the only solution. If you have a non-literal take, please enter. Want you all to feel free to take it somewhere wonderful and unexpected. ~Geoff

I think we've covered the 'wind' aspect visually. Time is tight, so any abstract or original approaches are encouraged! Thanks.
~Geoff

I appreciate everyone's submissions. Thank you! Hope it was as fun for you as me.
I will present/pitch several contenders to our company ownership and return with updated rankings,
probably make some revisions requests for whomever we slide in or out of the number 1 spot, then
award an ultimate winner.
Thanks again, and thanks for your patience while the wheels of upper management churn. I'm on it!
~Geoff

Top contenders have been prepared and are being reviewed by our company's three partners. The deadline for awarding a winner for this contest is Tuesday, July 12. I anticipate having to extend it three days until Friday July 15. I apologize for the delayed approval process and want to thank you all for your great work and patience. Don't want anyone to think I've forgotten them or that I'm not pressing for a decision as quickly as I can! Peace. ~Geoff

Contest Note: Hi all this contest is extended. The client requested more time for the following reason:

Client reviewing and getting revisions.

Designers -- the plan is still to award the winner and prize by this Friday afternoon, 7/15.
Thanks!

Still switching out number one logos to get variations/tweaks.

Appreciate everyone's talent and effort. Thank you all for a fun, rewarding experience!
