Hi, Chris,

Many thanks for this submission.

Many, many thanks for your hard work and responses to our revision requests. We really like this design/concept.

It is helpful to see how it would be reproduced in various colors/processes.

I love the incorporation of the color into the vertical line

The multi-colored is still my favorite.

Before we have you ...(more)

Almost forgot . . .

One additional request, some of the other designs have tackled the problem we have with people pronouncing HASTAC ("haystack"). Would this be something you could incorporate into your design? Perhaps with just the mark indicating the long a?

These are grayscale versions of my entries 75, 76, & 77.

Each of these entries are made up of abstracted hay rolls tied at the center.

Do you want to see the 4-color versions on a black background?

Hi there,

Here are some options from my previous submission. I've done two options, keeping the squares in same shape, and one in a haystack design. On each I've also done a transparent and black and white version for you.
