One final thanks to all designers who invested their time, effort, thought and creativity into my contest. Thanks particularly to those who responded to feedback with revised designs, in some cases many designs.

In the end I went for the #77 although all designs with 5 stars were close and #93, in particular, was very close. I liked the simplicity of @dy's design, which reflected the brief and conveys energy in the drama of the ridge line (nothing to do with comments above :-) although they are appreciated).

@dy I will be in touch.

cheers

Thanks to all who have submitted designs! Sorry to those who I wasn't able to offer feedback yesterday -- the time difference has often meant designs coming in over night, my time. I will make a decision today.

Again: thanks to all who have submitted designs. All designs with 4 star ratings are still in consideration. I need to revisit and reconsider these in the morning. Coming down to a point where it is pretty subjective...

But I would point out to anyone submitting further designs that it is very important that the syntax is right and urge you to review comments on specific designs if you to build a complete picture of what I am looking for.

Thanks again to all have submitted designs.

I have made comments for individual designers.

Not quite there yet but getting close...

Hi. Once again: thanks for all the effort/thought evident in the submitted designs.

Comments:
-- Checked out cost of Western Union. With a tight budget, and given I am spending NZ$, not a possibility. Sorry.
-- Please be careful with punctuation. It's "Right words. Right places. Right results." People are missing out the last full stop/period. Please either lose all the puctuation and seperate the word pairs with something graphical or keep all of it.
-- Added stars to allow comparisons but I am still considering all the designs that remain in play.

I'll be recommending this site to people.

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed. All your ideas are helping me understand what I want. Appreciate the thinking/effort that is evident in submitted designs.

Overall comments:
-- I should have put in the brief that one of the things I sell is my ideas and creativity; want a logo that somehow conveys zest, creativity, etc. [Hmmm... Not sure how possible that is but I'll like to see what you designers can come up with after you run with the idea.]
-- Reiterating re. colours: looking for blue greys, purple greys, etc that work pretty well in greyscale.
-- Adding re colours: should probably be web safe.

I've offered individual feedback on designed submitted since I last checked out. This is up there with checking analytics data on the addictiveness scale.

Thanks to all that have contributed so far. Nice to set this up last night and find some very interesting work here this morning. I've offered feedback on all submitted designs. Love to see others have a go.
