We will comment on each submitted logos thusfar:

freetime:
We liked version 2 better but prefer navy blue as our color of choice, a second color would be gold (just look at Notre Dame colors...on of us is a BIG ND fan!)


bill:
Pretty cool how you mixed the RW together but we're not sure about the lack of a boarder, leaving the bottom of the W open.

Dewa:
We like the Navy blue and the red works well...we are both very patriotic. Would you please give us some more variations of the RW? By the way, our URL is www.wr-solutions.com Maybe you could incorporate the dash.

logoholic:
We don't like the R in version 1
We like the blue and gold in version 2 but have a problem with the RW
We are not sure about the box in version 3 but like the shading effect

Fabian:
The logo is intriguing but could you explain it? What is it? We do like "Investment Bankers" in the small print but it should read "Investment Banking"

Blesseville:
The font's not bad but don't like the colors and not sure about the dots but it is still pretty interesting

TO EVERYBODY:
Thanks you for submitting your logos so far and I hope we didn't offend
anyone and for all you Notre Dame haters, if you choose not to continue working on this project, my partner applauds you! Please continue to help us with this...we will announce a winner on Monday!

If you have any questions, please ask.

v2.1 Thanks for the feedback.

The color PMS 872 is actually a gold metallic ink.

I take it someone had a very difficult year to digest.
