Nice, but it will become unusable in smaller sizes!!! Fine details will be lost!

Try to imagine this in the website header that's 100 pixels high. Text wouldn't be readable.

This symbol have some kindness in it, but alignment of the word "ASSOCIES" screams amateur.

Nice, but client specified no red. Do you even read carefully rules of the contest.

" No red or green may be used."

Very small glimpse of the Eiffel Tower, a bit of a long shot. That empty space between S & A is too big, it would look better, if you added left side of the "A".

Great work. IMHO the best entry out there, perfect fusion of hip-hop and samurai culture.

Smoother edge of the sword is my only remark, but that's easy to fix.

Good luck with the client pick. :)

Excellent entry, it says print, architecture and 3D.

Shadows could be 10-20% darker to enhance the 3D aspect of the symbol in gradient version. "3D PRINTING SERVICE" could be a bit left, aligned with left side of the "t" stem. "i" ( text) should have the same wave pattern as a pencil in the symbol. Not so great transition from gradient to single color version, but good enough.

This is just my opinion and constructive critique. If client choose to pick entry as it is, he can't go wrong. Top 3 for sure! Good luck! :)

Technical mistakes were intentional.

My goal in this contest was to show how creativity (good idea), can beat flawless technical execution.

Your constructive critique about the scale is great. Logo would look better, if symbol was exactly 20% smaller.

This color combination is bold, memorable and energetic, but have no connection with the target audience. My second choice was pink, but gone with this one, because pink would be obviously inappropriate.

Colors can be changed upon clients request. This is a common thing in Corporate contests, you'll learn this in time.

Typeface does appeal to target audience, but have no connection to sharp edges of the symbol.

Glad to see someone still takes time to write constructive critiques.

This is the best way to defend clients from picking poorly executed entries and help other designers to improve their skills.

Cheers, stunned and thanks! :)

Next time use kerning and/or change the font size on "flOOr" and "i", instead of scaling.

"i" obviously different font than the "Deal", not properly aligned with the "D".

Poor typeface choice, it would be good for some computer related company.

Colors inappropriate for target audience: female 35-55.

Sorry, my mistake. After reviewing so many entries in this contest, didn't zoomed this one. It's a 10 after all!

Congrats on the gold! Good luck with the clients pick, hope you'll win the moneybag. :)
