    Thank you for submitting the first design! I really like the graphic but the arrows make it look like it is a flow or process rather than three points that are connected. They are connected but all work at the same time rather than one following another. Also, I'm not sure where the plug fits in. [referring to submission #1]

    To help be more clear, I should say that the three points represent: The individual (customer), the relationship between individuals (customer connections) and the systems that bind them (marketing systems). You might have a better way to represent this and I'm open to ideas.

    Thank you again for the submission.

    Design #2: I love how the three dots from our logo is incorporated into the logo. And the graphics do a good job of representing what we are talking about with each of the three areas. My only two concerns are 1) that the icons feel a bit "stock" and rigid to me. We are a very human driven company and I'm afraid it makes people look like robots. and 2) the arrows make it look like it is a process or a flow. In fact, we do all three of the items at the same time. They are connected and must work together to be effective.

    Design #3: I really love how you've blow out the concept to be so visual. Same comment about the arrows making it look like a process rather than all three pieces happening at the same time. And I think something other than a Globe would represent a system better. The idea of the system in this context is that it is a "web of interconnectivity".

    Thank you both very much for these great submissions

    PS. While I do like the blue background, I want to make sure you know that you don't have to stick with it if you have a better idea or want it to be white.

    Design #4: I really like the bubbles that you've created. However I'm not sure about the imagine you have under it that looks like a solar system. I like the visual effect but am not making a close tie between how it apples to the other bubbles.

    Design #5 & 6: I like this design better. The notebook computer isn't really what the system is about and that is where I am challenged. Also, the arrows still flow from one area to another when they should not. It is not about a process but about three areas that all work together. I do like that you tried a different background. I like them both equally.

    Design #7: Very nice job! This is currently my favorite design as it is clean, I like the more sleek icons you are using for the person/people, and it pulls in the three dots from our logo. You've also avoided the arrows which helps.

    Design #8: I like the use of the lighter area as I think it makes the words more readable. However, the overlapping circles are a problem for me as it looks like we are talking more about intersection points rather than everything working together.

    I'd like to make a note that the contest rules also request that the page for "Public Sector" and "Organizational Transformation" also be designed and that a treatment showing how the three would be displayed both separately and as one visual be provided.

    If there is any question about this element of the contest, please do let me know and I will be glad to provide more information.

    I really appreciate all of the great designs being submitted so far. Thank you designers!

    CD Devices: Thank you for your submissions! So far you are the only one with a design for all three areas: Marketing, Public Sector and Organizational Transformation. You've done a great job at this. I'm still struggling with the icons you are using for the people. I really like the elegance of the icons in designs #8 and #9. And I love the inclusion of the three dots from our logo. If I could combine your two designs, I would be delighted.

    NOTE TO ALL ENTRANTS: This is my first contest running so please let me know if my comments are useful or if you would like more/less/different feedback. Also note that this will be just the first of several contests that will all need consistency across design.

    also would you prefer a circle instead of a triangle in the center?

    I really gravitate to designs #7 and #9 - i love how they are very clean, sophisticated and original. I still struggle with the icons in Design #17 as they look very stock and a little childish for the audience we are targeting (a CEO or CMO of a large technology company). I appreciate your sticking with this and trying new things though. Maybe we'll get one that clicks.

    Designs #11 - #14, I like your approach but am still held up on the icons. They feel to stock to me and a big clunky. Again, i love the icons used for people in design #7 and lean towards anything that is elegant.

    Design #17, I like the incorporation of the three dots but, again, the icons feel a bit childish. Although you have the best icon for marketing systems yet. I really like the stylized lightbulb

    Design #19, this is my favorite of your designs but the people now look too hip and casual. our audience if Chief Marketing Officers and the icons should be very sophisticated.

    Design #20: I love your 3D approach. I'm not fond of the new background color - your colors in your other submissions were stronger. And I'm hung up on your icon of people. Can you find something more stylish and sophisticated?

    Designs #21 - #24: I really like where you are going, your version of the three dots, and the colors are good. #24 is the strongest. But I would need to see how you address the other two areas: Public Sector and Organizational Transformation. I want to make sure there is some differentiation between them!

    Design #7: I'm really leaning towards this design because it is so clean. My only challenge here is the blue in the background center. Can you play with the color of it some or perhaps make it feel a bit dimensional? Just an idea.

    Thank you all so much for your work so far. It is fantastic!
