Some of us LOVE #64 and #65, but the staff is split on the pineapple concept, unfortunately. The concern is that the pineapple isn't universally/immediately understood as a symbol of hospitality. Thanks for your work on these submissions - we REALLY appreciate it and do not take your time / talent for granted... if we end up changing our minds and going with the pineapple, you'd have our vote!
Tommy: we did see those designs - thank you. They are also a bit too feminine, unfortunately. We noted the "open hands / arms" imagery but the "dove / bird" aspect wasn't obvious to us.
Thanks again for your submissions. We've updated the contest brief and discussion to give some more specific directions that indicate more accurately what we're going for.
