Thanks for your efforts! Both of these designs have really nice elements.

Blesseville: The icon has a certain contemporary playfulness to it that is nice, but it doesn't seem to say "wave" enough for brand recognition.

xpressions: This design has a great deal going for it. I think the treatment of the opening letter W is nice - maybe it could stand out a bit more - be more pronounced as far as the wave element goes? Also, I think Wavecrest and Studio could benefit from being in two different colors, with a bit more space between them? I'm still uncertain about the tagline underneath the studio name. I'm thinking on a business card or image overlay it would be too small to read, but it would probably work well on a letterhead.

Thanks again!

Thanks everyone for your efforts thus far! There are many promising designs here, and I am really liking many of them - making choosing difficult!

Djaka - on your design #7, could I see a revision with everything

the same, except that the crest is on the left of the studio name

instead of above it? (Similar to entry #9) Thank you!
