Second place added.

I am seeing many vertical designs with the design element or picture above the writing. Please make sure all designs are not vertical challenges on paper. To give you guys some more context on why I am rejecting the designs with the picture on top and WaterLily Writing LLC below -  it''s going to be used on paper in a double column space.  Sometimes, we have a maximum of 3 inches wide by 6 inches tall for a company presentation and to sell your company''s expertise. That usually includes a logo plus text for the discussion on our company history and information. That is not a lot of room on really tight page limit proposals with 12 point font and 1.5 paragraph spacing. That usually means that a logo is restricted to 1.5 inches by 3 inches wide maximum. If it doesn''t fit, it is the first thing to be dropped by the document developers in favor of pure text. I really want them to keep my logo. I can write short text.  I need your help making my logo fit within that space as well. The thinner the better. If you can make it work well at the 1 inch by 2.5 inch space and still be clear and clean looking, that would be awesome!

Of course, the logos will be used on website, cards, stationary, etc. But those items have less a restriction than actual proposal submissions.

It really needs to be a much more horizontal design.  So far just a couple have gotten it right.

Have a check. :)

Coming up on the deadline tomorrow. Performing a B&W as well as a greyscale check on all remaining designs today.  All designs that do not photocopy from color to greyscale well or print B&W while retaining their quality will be eliminated. Thank you all for the great submissions!

Award coming soon. Please remember that the winners will need to provide the vector source files with 1 file containing the logo on a transparent background behind the logo, 1 file containing the logo on a white background, and exact color definitions.
