We like all of these, but think "Castell" is more on track. We really like the flame idea to illustrate Hot Deal. Could we see a version without the airplane. Could you also take a look at our other entry for "SellMyTimeShareNOW.com" and try your hand at that one too!?

We really like this one; the flaming sun image. Could you remove the plane and move the name closer? Thanks. Also, please try your hand at our other request for a logo for SellMyTimeshareNOW.com.

Here it is as requested. :)

We are not able to communicate privately until the contest is over.

This is a private message from the client, which I received yesterday.

The owner asks if you could modify this design by:
1. complete the sun circle around the palm tree and slightly raise the tree
2. turn the flames beneath into ocean waves
3. subtly add a hint of smolder or flame to the "HOT" in the lettering.

Love what you're doing!

Thanks!

Thanks for the revision. I'm circulating it now. Could you try a version where the "smoldering flames" are coming from the entire "HOT" word and also so they are above, rather than below, the word? Much appreciated!

We've selected you for our logo award. Congratulations!

We have some revisions to suggest and would like you to give them a try so I'll try to be very specific:
1. Please go to the SellMyTimeshareNOW logo contest and look at the waves created by "Medigraph" in Version 5.0. We will be awarding that contest to them. What worked as flames on your version rev, did not look as good as blue waves, so we're asking to eliminate that aspect and try to use the approach in the Medigraph waves.
2. Change the color of the words VACATION to the dark green and slant the words VACATIONHOTDEAL.
3. For the word HOT, remove the dripping flames entirely, and make the whole word "sizzle" slightly (like looking at the wavy reflection of cars on hot pavement).
4. In previous versions, the lettering appears to be smaller. Please refer back to your previous version and repeat that size here.

Hi! We have a couple of ideas for you:
1. We liked the tree where you had it before, i.e., showing inside the sun.
2. We liked the whole sun showing with the tree growing out of it just as before.
3. We like the dark blue "wave" and would like it moved so that the whole sun shows above it.
4. Please remove the light blue wave, so there is only one dark blue wave.
5. It is hard to read "HOT". Would you please make it not "shimmer" (I know I asked you to do that, sorry). Rather, could you move the red to where it is mostly white now and recolor the top, bottom, and edges shaded to orange and orange-yellow?

Thank you so much. We are anxious to see the next version.

Best regards,

Mehrl

I'm back with some more input from the owners here:

1. Please make the name as big as the icon, and place the name above the "wave".
2. Would it be possible to change the color of the wave to "deep caribbean ocean aqua"?

Thanks!

Hello again;

We would like to try #2 of Rev5 and are asking if you would:
1. Try the lettering twice as big as this,
2. Try the "wave" about half this size.

Thank You!

Yes, we have agreed on 2b, but we have a challenge for you with the blue wave: Can you blend in two colors, starting on the left tip with RGB 33-CC-FF and ending on the right tip with RGB 00-99-99? Also could you blend in a little of PMS122 (yello) near the bottom right of the sun?

Fantastic!

Hello,

RGB color system works with value from 0 to 255... Medigraph just pointed that you might have used Hex code in order to express RGB, so here is the result with the specs you sent.

Thank you,

We think Oa is what we're looking for except the blue should be at the bottom and the green should be on top. Would you try that for us please?

Final request, if you please: change the color of VACATION to match the green color of the top right "crest" of the wave. And that should do it for revisions. HONEST!
