MacHarmony Blue is not yet set in stone. But it is close to our current logo on our website. Kinda like Entry 8664 - Submitted by yvy and Entry 8951 - Submitted by DZynd4U. But really I was just trying to be funny about it. How cool would it be if there really was a "MacHarmony" blue. Well, I guess, soon there will be. Thank you all. This is fun.

Thanks everyone for all your submissions, sorry for the delay in responding. In general, we are enjoying the originality and variety. Some of you have really put some thought into this.

Just a reminder, we really want to distinguish ourselves from Apple, so please refrain from using obvious references to Apple. Also, colors should be MacHarmony blue, greys, white, and black.

Definitely favoring the minimalist artwork here. Would like to play down the gradients and 3D. Those elements work great for web, but can be difficult to print on various media. All for the complex art, but it should be able to breakdown to a simpler version. Also, in the guidelines I specified vector art. These gradient-based images are bitmap?

So far yvy1, DZynd4u, rochelleann, and smurfygirl seem to be on the right track.

Just a question. For my entry I simply tried to get close to the color used on your current logo but I was wondering if MacHarmony blue has a PMS or if you know the RGB and CMYK breakdown so that we can get it just right?

Jkinkley: The gradient based images are vector.

Sorry. Started rating the new entries. Thank you all for your submissions. Please note that I rate this not just on the quality of the artwork, but also what I think represents MacHarmony. I would be faster at rating these, but the site design makes it difficult to do. Half the time, when I click to an entry to rate it, then I click back to get to the main screen, the site times out. Then I have to log back in to rate. Will do some more commenting tomorrow. Thanks.

We are a day and a half away from the end of the contest. Thanks everyone for their work. At this stage, DZynd4U, Rochelleann, mizou and smurfygirl are the front runners. Overall, if you look at their designs, I feel they have the MacHarmony look and feel. Still looking for that perfect icon to compliment the MacHarmony text. Thanks again. Does anyone have any questions?
