*UPDATE* Thanks for all the submissions coming in. Lot of promising entries. Some things I'd like to note based on what I've been seeing so far: 1. We don't really want to have any gradients in the logos. Logos should be clean and able to easily switch colors depending on the background they might appear on. 2. We've begun giving star ratings. If its a 1 star, its very likely missing the target. For now 3 is our highest as we continue to review new or revised entries 3. A crisp sans-serif font is preferred, not too heavy (fat) 4. The more unique and clean designs are best We will be adding a few more comments on some designs we're liking and colors etc very soon.

Uploading an image with color swatches on it. Please use something in that same color scheme for new designs.

Some more feedback here. We want to see some logo designs where the word "Portola" is not in all caps, but we can keep the LENDING in all caps. Let's try to stylize the word "Portola" using a distinctive, branding style font and keep LENDING as a more professional, simple font like we've been seeing on the fonts so far. So, Portola is stylized, so it becomes sort of a recognizable brand.
