It was indeed a difficult choice. You all did a wonderful job and had great ideas - each of which would have worked for Ripple Arts. It came down to a personal preference for Hoshimo's clean and sophisticated design. Thank you all and I look forward to working with you again in future contests!

Best wishes, A

Okay, I have narrowed the field a great deal. If you are still here, it is because your design is one of my top favorites. Each of you have worked really hard on these designs and have been wonderful and receptive to my feedback. It is going to be very hard to decide - but I promise to before the end of the weekend. Please send me a private message if you have any questions, etc.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hello Designers, Thank you all for your submissions and hard work! It has been a real pleasure working with all of you. I am going to narrow down the field and give myself a couple days to make a final decision. It is going to be a tough decision as there are a few designs that I really love. You have all done an excellent and thoughtful job. There were a lot of new designers that entered in the last 24 hours with some great ideas...however I really wish you had entered earlier so I could have given some feedback for other interations.

If you would like any specific feedback on your designs feel free to send me a private message (so I see it).

Best wishes to all!

I've given feedback to all. Let me know if there is any other information or feedback you would like me to provide. I think there are some incredible designs here - some of them may not fit with my business concept but they are still fantastic.

If people are interested in other ideas for designs - I still have not seen any lateral designs of ripples except for sabu's. Also I think there is room for other elements like fabric, stone, clay or metal (not too metalic though).

I really appreciate all the effort and talent in this contest!

Hey Designers!

You are really creating some amazing ideas here. I am at work but I will give everyone feedback in about 7 hours. I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you!

Thank you for all your hard work on these designs.

You guys are really doing a wonderful job! Thank you!

I've given everyone some feedback individually. Let me know if have any questions about the contest. I do not have many suggestions aside from those I mentioned in my last comment. I have been showing some of the designs to friends and some feedback that I recieved is that it would be nice if there was a way to incorporate the 'global' aspect of the business in the logo. For example, #32 does a good job of drawing from the 'feel' of traditional world arts.

Thanks again!

Wow, there are some great ideas here! Thank you to all for your efforts! I will leave everyone some feedback individually but generally I am liking the feel of the designs by mikec (#2,#11), artturo (#25, #24) and kkkapt (#28) - they are clean and either classic or modern. In terms of color I like the subtle colors by mikec as well as the brighter colors of greatwallcreativity (#22).

Some people have swirls instead of ripples. It should be concentric circles - like when you throw a stone into water.

Going forward - I'd love to see some people play with just using the word 'ripple'. Also, I would like to see a representation of a ripple from a lateral view point (like you are in the water with goggles looking at a ripple from half-in, half-out of the water). Finally, it would be interesting to use other elements besides water drops to make the ripples - like a stone or a bead, etc.

All-in-all, great job to everyone!
