Over we are actually very excited with the range on display. Whilst there are some that perhaps align closer with our expectation, we greatly value the time that everyone has put towards their logos. If you could review and revisit that would be fantastic? Will leave that for everyone to consider. SO small secret! Our company is made up of a numbers of successful start-up people! We wanted to see what this service was like.. and I as the primary owner/founder am a BIG fan of Crowdsourcing... So the offer! If you provide a winning logo.. not only we you have won the price (*which will be $350+ depending on the effort)we have a range of products within this business that need logos! (*6 at this point in time...)... So perhaps a longer engagement with us.. Look forward to seeing the next installment.. Ciao.. Stuart, Co-Founder/Product Wrangler, FuelFoundry. (*this logo will go VERY public!)

Hello All, if we could consider other illustrations outside of the 'FF' name.. Would like to see abstract images/ideas as well? not just the letters etc.. Hope that helps provide some direction. Cheers, Stuat

URGENT: HI everyone. We build social networking software.. and a specific industry software... thus, fire, liquid .. etc.. does not quite match our focus on building high quality, simple and very stunning to look at software.. VERY MAC look and feel style and use.. So an illustration to align to that would be PERFECT.. The fonts are become much better and stronger.. THANK you for all your efforts... The Fuel Foundry Team.

HELLO ALL! We will be finalizing our decision towards the end of the week. We have found that the 'fonts' for the text have been great, and style inline with our thoughts on a number of occasions. Unfortunately, we have not yet seen an illustration that REALLY kicks.. Please review the following site http://www.new-startups.com/.. as this is a set of examples/existing companies that we are friends with - this should provide an outline of our expectation.. PLEASE REVIEW .. Cheers, FF Team.

Again, can these by developed a Very simple WEB2.0 FORMAT - FLAT, symbolic not a direct reference.. Cheers, FF Team.

just to be straight. First you wanted an icon with a name, then no icon just a name, now an icon and name.

Gennaro, we have been waiting for a name and/or a logo to present itself that stands out as the definitive option. At this point we have not yet seen any specific option that reflects this - there are certainly a number of great designs; just not a winning design. Thus, perhaps the teams request to revisit an illustration/icon once more was to inject more opportunity for designers etc.. The team is trying to be as flexible and informative as possible through this exercise - thank you for your feedback and thoughts. Cheer, Stuart - Co-Founder/CEO, FuelFoundry Inc.

HELLO ALL! I am a great believer in transparency, which equally has positive and negative effects! Regardless I wanted to highlight to the design community (*Within Hatchwise) that at this point we have not yet seen a design that truly demonstrates/reflects our direction as a business. We have tried to provide a much feedback as possible to outline thoughts, without being to prescriptive in the process. There have certainly be a number of great designs during the exercise, to which we appropriate the effort and thoughts - However, none at this point we can select as a winner. Therefore, as I want to ensure we do not wish to waste anyone's time going forward I would like to propose the following: We will give this a further 24hrs.... Thus, perhaps one more round of submissions? We will close off the contest at that point regardless of the outcome; again as we don't want to take any more of your valuable time. Thank you again for your efforts and input.... I hope that we can secure a great entry in the next 24hrs!! Cheers, Stuart - Co-Founder/CEO, FuelFoundary Inc.

Hello All, thank you all very much for providing a vast array of logo's to review and discuss. At this point we are unable to locate an option that we believe reflects the organization. Perhaps some further clarity from us was required, perhaps the design direction had different meanings to everyone, or perhaps we are looking for a particular style. Thus, I again want to highlight that we appreciate the design is a creative and organic art!Thus, we value every submission and thank you for your time and energy in being part of this exercise. We will consider placing our next beta product up for contest in the near future. Regards, Stuart, Co-Founder/CEO, FuelFoundry.
