    The designs were reviewed and it was a hard choice. The final decision was based upon overall feedback given by individuals outside of the company and/or those involved with design. The final design winner was chosen based upon the logo and it's ability to stand alone without the use of the corporate name. It's strong lines in the form of a circle that showed strength and trust. The dragon's head is simple yet powerful and recognizable, without the use of fire as oil and fire don't mix. The choice of colors Red and Gold that complimented the overall design. The thing that helped to sell this design over the rest was the use of it on a black matte background with a copy of the logo image in silhouette in the back. The designer helped to show the strong potential of usability of the logo on its own. She met all the requirements set. Thanks once again for everyone's submissions.

    valu2507 Draft #80, In the word "Dragon," the letters "R.A.," are too close together. They are the only letters that touch. The letter "R" in "Petroleum" blurs out. The circular part of the fire dragon that represents the "O" needs to be rounder. If you can make it look more like the color of fire, so you can distinguish the spit of fire on the letter "G." Also, the still needs to be somewhat more geometrical, opposed to actual drawing like.

    mikochiong28 Draft #78, I like your originality of using a dragon inside of the "D." The font is crisp clear and easy to read. The overall look is good. It just looks like its missing something. It needs something a little extra to give it a push. A Symbol, Water Rings, something to match the design you've created. Even wings of a dragon geometric of course coming up out of water rings. The year 2012 rings in the year of the water dragon ;-).

    Draft #69, I like how you used the rings up underneath of the eye. Your choice of font is crisp and easy to read. The eye however somehow doesn't work. I could see how that could be a droplet of some sort with a dragon's claw pulling up on it but I am not sure how that would look, if it may end up being too busy. As the goal of this logo is simplistic. A symbol that could also be a stand alone brand without the use of the corporate name.

    mvillamin Draft #61, Thank you for your revision. I was wondering in your Draft #49 your horns for the dragon were done in red, would you be able to do the same thing with Draft #61 and that dragon's horns?

    sway99 Draft #62, Can you Flip the colors on the company name? Can you put the word "Dragon" in Red and the word "Petroleum" in Gold? Keep the layout the same. Then, can you do another layout with the colors the same Red "Dragon," and Gold "Petroleum." But put the word Petroleum underneath of "D.R.A.G." Play around with the positioning of the logo in another area other than directly on top. I would greatly appreciate it. Just one other thing, in these designs that you create can you make a replica with a crisper font just to see if it makes a difference. Draft #61 has a very crisp font.

    Draft #49, You interpreted the requirements very well. This is the direction we want to go in as far as uniqueness and aesthetics. I just wanted to see if there is anything else you might be able to do with the head. Can you push it away from antelope to a little more dragon? http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/antelope-impala:aepyceros-melampus-photo-2705.html

    Will provide better feedback later but wanted to say that this is more of what I was looking for. Rabbit, can you please work on your colors. They are faded and washed out. It makes it hard to see the design work.

    The company is called Dragon Petroleum, so it's not necessary to put a huge elaborate dragon in the logo. Simple, Sleek, Sophisticated, Subtle Corporate logo. Please steer away from the overly elaborate dragons if you put them into the design. I will stress again: Geometric, Lines, Curves, abstract.

    I have eliminated the ones that were going off in the wrong direction. The ones that are still up are closer to what it is that is needed in the design. I have increased the prize to $350 US Dollars.

    I would like to stress that the symbol needs to "geometrical," in design. Meaning, shapes, circles, lines, squares, triangles etc combined to make a shape. Draft#10 followed those guidelines for the dragon. Some of the dragons are absolutely beautiful but not what is being looked for. Here's another example: http://orders.logodesignguru.com/contests/adia-a-global-oil-broker/users/firman Here is another example: http://orders.logodesignguru.com/drafts/display/contest/1028/draft/66946 The black in the middle of the circle could be more of the shape of a dragon's eye. The circle can be a tear drop. Not that exact design. Another Example: http://orders.logodesignguru.com/contests/unified-fuels-logo/users/ARdes Draft #84, instead of a leaf in the middle a dragon's eye or some play on it but only the shape of it. The first design for Adia in this comment is more on the mark of what is being looked for. I hope that this makes it clearer. If you need any clarification please don't hesitate to ask.

    image611 Draft #13, Love the originality on your dragon. The only thing is that it does have an air of being very traditional chinese. If you could possibly change up the dragon to something more geometrical and sleek. Where it gives an edge, hint, of a dragon with having too many details that would be great. While playing with the position of the emblem. It doesn't work sitting on top. Maybe to the left of Dragon or underneath to the left with a nice partition between the two with the word petroleum moved to the far left still only under half the word dragon. Also, please place it one a black background as well. Just remember everything should give a corporate, respectful, trustworthy, powerful appeal.

    Rabbit Draft #10, you are on target with using more geometrical shaping for the dragon, which makes it look very original and sleek. Avoiding a more chinese restaurant look and sticking with the corporate image. Can you work on the colors of this one? The Black and red aren't very bold and when it transitions from there to Red and white on the black background the shading is different. If you have any other ideas as well, using another similar dragon with goemetrical shaping, we would love to see them.

    Thank you for your updates! vdhadse on Draft #14 Love the way this is starting to look. Is it possible for you to make the red droplet look like that of a Dragon's eye. It should be more of a hint of an eye rather than seeing an outright eye for that. Is it also possible to make the lettering a little more simple and sleek like that of #10?

    Draft #7, this is a nice design but doesn't give that corporate feel to it. The colors also need to be more bold and the dragon needs to more of a symbol that can be recognized alone without the corporate name attached to it.

    Draft #6, Love the coloring scheme of the letters chosen. The only thing is that it doesn't look very corporate. When done in white, on black it loses its appeal, as most places the logo will be used will be on black, as this is the company's color of choice. If you could come up with something with a more corporate edge. It was suggested possibly with a ying and yang type symbol as a background behind the corporate name coming from behind like a rising sun. It will be great to somehow utilize the dragon, while maintaining the respectful, trustworthy, and professional.
