Love the font.

It is a beautiful image, would make a lovely painting even, but is a bit too art/abstract for our purposes. Not sure it is conveying are themes, just looks like a really beautiful haystack.

Thanks for your entry!

Don't care for any of these fonts and the graphic, while lovely, looks a bit too much like a flower.

Hi, Bee,

Thanks for your note. Sorry not to have responded sooner. This week has been crazy, with our big annual competition closing today, so this had to take a bit of a backseat!

I don't see the animated log. Where did it go?

It's one logo idea with a few variations of how it could be arranged. HASTAC could be on top, inside. The shapes could be packed together or spread out etc. In certain situations you might want to just use the H portion ...(more)

Still not sure the icon is conveying what we need it to convey. While beautiful, It feels very generic.

The graphic feels strangely sized/proportioned compared to the rest of the logo? The "techy" look of the haystack itself feels a bit dated?

Full title needs to be 2-3 lines

Would like to see the full title in 2-3 lines

Not crazy about font for the full titles, something a bit cleaner/modern?

Not crazy about the fonts, would like something a bit more modern? Would like to see the full title in 2-3 lines.

Really beautiful, but worry about reproduction on other materials?

Not enough of a "logo" looks more like an illustration. Not sure how it would work on collateral marketing materials? Like the fonts.

Thanks for the submission, Nick. While it is pretty, I am not sure it conveys our themes. And I am a little concerned about the size, so much of the logo is just dots, that the full title gets a bit lost. Really liking some of the ideas that play on ...(more)

We are not interested in an animated logo.

Love the horizontal treatment!

We will be designing an entire website around this logo. Given that the logo only uses yellow, would you be willing to help provide a website color palette that would give us some colors to work with in designing the rest of the site?

Not enough of a concise, discrete, professional logo. Reminds me of wording just floating in space.

Like your earlier treatment of full title much better than this one.

The cords still seem shiny, I would almost like to see them just rendered completely flat, like lines.
