    Western Union is possible. Not preferred, but of the logo warrants it then it can be done.

    Thanks so much to all the entrants so far. Although we have a couple that i will take to the client for them to look at, we really need a lot more.

    I haven't yet seen anybody try and symbolically at least add something to do with the technology side of things mentioned in the long brief. Although the logo had to be earth and stylish a part of it could swoosh out to represent a conveyor belt, perhaps even a little bit of binary, or electric swirl. Perhaps even circles to represent a fully vertically integrated business.

    Another point would be that the logo needs to look good on colors other than white. The new website and cards won't be white and most probably will be on a color similar to the background of their current site --> http://australianmacadamia.com.au

    Before submitting i urge you to read through as much of the comments i have made on other entrants. I have tried to be as descriptive as possible to help convey what we would like to see out of the entries. A few of the entrants have really got the symbolism of the technology/integration side of things right now. So there is a lot of valuable information in those comments for designers who are going to submit.

    About 24 hours until I start showing the client designs. So keep those entries coming in.

    Tini, See http://www.macnuts.com.au/grow-process.htm for a look at macadamia nut processing. Although this is a very literal way to display technology and integration side of the business. But in this business they are going to ake it to a new levels with computerised wieghing systems and we login systems for growers to see where their nuts are, keep track of the whole process. The processing line isn't necessarily the best way to go to illustrate technology or integration. A couple of others have used an almost yin yang type approach in the the design which shows the vertical integrated business which shows something more than just your average macadamia nut company. hope thats all makes a little sense.

    Hi Rocky, http://australianmacadamia.com.au/ works just fine for me. Please let us know if this problem persists.

    Hi Rocky,

    Does http://cosmicfantasia.com work for you? It is on the same server but without a .com.au ???

    I hadn't heard of any issues before this.

    Thanks.

    Hey cosmicfantasia,

    Thanks for trying to resolve this issue. But no http://cosmicfantasia.com does not work for me either. I've tried this on a PC as well and still the same result.

    Hi everybody,

    I have spent a lot of time with the client today going through the entries. Although we don't have a winner yet, there is clear favorite.

    And that is Tini's 2nd entry @ http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/contestentrant/1129/114287?#entry59642

    Close favorites after this entry were from dave491, Nightdiver, yelolive and inrepidguppy.

    The client was very impressed with the quality of work. It was said that there was about 10 logos that if they were put in front of them, without seeing the other ones in the comp, they would of been very happy to have any one of them as there logo. A credit to you all.

    I will be adding comments to Tini's entry soon and if those changes come out how we like, she will almost certainly be the winner.

    We thank you all so much for your time and efforts. The quality of work was fantastic and you should all be proud of your efforts.

    We will add more info and announce a final winner soon.

    I would just like to formally announce Tini as the winner. She has just one minor change to do, but that won't be a problem.

    I would like thank everybody for all the time and effort people put into this. There were about 10 designs the client would be more than happy as using for their logo.

    I hope you have found my comments to be honest, timely and helpful.

    Thanks again,
    Eric (Cosmic Fantasia)... :)
