Looking to leverage cultural heritage using family crest as the main driver for the logo. Basically looking to modernize this image. Does not need to look exactly the same but should include the main elements (Multi-color Lion / Helmet). Do not include snake & pole. Have also included existing logo designs that I like for reference. Not sure that Company Name needs to be included in Logo.

    All - I think the banners at the bottom are good. I would just like to see them smaller like in the example. I would still like to keep MacWhirter Enterprises at the bottom as you had it before.

    Aurelizza - The update to the top of the helmet is an improvement. Please keep this going forward. Apoloigies if I was not clear when I was asking for the last update from you, but it was to change the mane on the lion not the helmet. Could you please make an adjustment to the fur on the top part of the head on the lion. I will be monitoring these updates, so let me know if you have any questions. Please update spelling of Last name. Spelled - MacWhirter Thanks

    WOW - I am so impressed with what an amazing job both Aurelizza and Kotakdesign have done. This is going to be a very difficult choice. Thank you for all of your hard work.

    All - Please incorporate the MacWhirter Name under the shield in a banner. I am not sure if I will keep this, but wanted to see what it would look like. The link for an example is http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://xamicorp.com/trump/images/Trump_crest.gif&imgrefurl=http://xamicorp.com/trump/westchester.asp&usg=__LEYXm23TJe2Vq9hnQpXdf78 KKUI=&h=290&w=223&sz=23&hl=en&start=3&zoom=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=VspEa0ZVON9tKM:&tbnh=115&tbnw=88&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtrump%2BCrest%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26tbs%3Disch:1

    Kotakdesign - Your lion updates also looks fantastic. The detail you added to the top was exactly what I was looking for. My only feedback on the lion is related to the very top. There looks to be a circle beside the ear, and I am not sure what that is. Can you please refine that piece.

    Aurelizza - The lion updates look great. My only request is to make the very top of the mane look a bit more like fur. The hair on the bottom of the mane, arms and legs is good, the hair on the very top of the head looks a bit odd.

    I adjusted the Stars so that it was easier to distinguish which designs were best. For some reason I can not make # 37 a 4 Star, which it should be, as one of the finalists. All future changes should be made to this version.

    ALL - Please provide a version of the shield with the contrast at an angle, with the line going from the top right corner of the shield to the bottom left of the shield

    Aurelizza - #17 is great. Could you please modify the black in the lion darker, the same as the black on the left hand side of the shield. Please replace the blue inside the shield with the blue from inside the shield of #13 This new version of the helmet on #17 and is also very good. Would it be possible to make the helmet more of a charcoal than the current silver. The ribbon detail on the top now seems more appropriate, but now the detail on the bottom is too flared. Can you please make the ribbon detail on the bottom similar to how you had it before, like #11. Please ensure that the blue in the ribbon matches the blue inside the shield, like #13. Please provide a version of this shield with the lion color contrast top and bottom versus the left and right.

    Kotakdesign - #19 is your best submission so far. I realize the lion is a replica of the one provided in my family crest, but the head kind of reminds me of a squirrel and the top half seems to have less detail than the bottom. Is it possible to enhance this slightly? Your shield and font design remain as my preference.

    Aurelizza - #14 & #11 are what I Am looking for from a two tone perspective. Would also like to see the line on an angle from the top corner of the shield The lion detail is best on #9, but I also like #14. The lion on #11 seems a bit too demonic. Inside the shield, the color on #13 is the best. On the outside of the shield #11 is the best shading and color (although not sure that it will work with the color on the inside of the shield of #13). Not totally sold on the helmet yet, the color and shading make it seem like it stands out. Would prefer it without the feathers on the top. Would still like to see the top ribbon detail brought down and closer to the shield.

    Kotakdesign - Based on designs submitted to date, Font "MacWhirter" on draft #3 is my preference. Would still like to see an example of a more dramatic two-tone version of the lion inside the shield (See yellow/black version in example)

    Aurelizza - Draft #9 is my preference. I like the detail you have incorporated into the lion. Can you provide an example that incorporates black & blue? The detail around the shield seems 2-D or flat. Can this be made to look slightly more 3-D? Would also like to see the detail at the top lowered. The detail on the bottom looks good.

    Kotakdesign - Definitely on the right track. Would like to see the color contrast in the shield as in the example incorporated. Maybe on an angle versus horizontal. Is it possible to include the helmet? Please omit the "Distinguished & Modern Crest" title from future submissions.
