Describe who/what this design is about

This is a business. Our strategy is to drive traffic to a website (the only place this logo will be utilized). The target audience are owners of North Dakota and Montana mineral rights, specifically those located in what is referred to as the Williston Basin. The target audience could be land-owners (farmers) living in North Dakota, or descendants of people who used to own land / mineral rights in North Dakota - this later group usually own their mineral rights by way of a will (i.e., their father / mother / grandparent left them the mineral rights that they owned.

#16. Dude. Are you serious? When I suggested you look at the COPYCATS logo for a reference point regarding my taste in aesthetics, I wasn't meant to be interpreted as instruction to abandon all creativity. I'm being a little harsh on you but... c'mon.

I'm just going to say to everyone... WOW! The submissions have been amazing and exceeded my expectations. As long as the winning designer works with me on some tweaks to make it perfect in my eyes... this will be money very well spent. While I had narrowed it down to about five last week, the list of finalists are growing based on the last batch of submissions. Keep up the great work. And thank you again for your participation.

our website, corporeate website for investors, is www.ante5oil.com. it's way too corporate and too slick for Williston Resources. But i just thought i would mention it. I did approve the designs and iconography on it.

Interesting that no one (well, almost no one) has submitted imagery related to the oil business. Like an oil well or a pump-jack. Honestly, i don't think i want something so obvious. I just found it surprising that nobody has yet gone that direction.

#1 i love this logo. in fact lot of people do. it speaks to the modernist in me. it's clean and cool. unfortunately, i'm not in the wall business. and so it's a little bit random. it would be nice if there was something that connected the overall design to the business i am in.

#7 and #8 are nice. But a bit too corporate for my taste.

#5 Loving the plow fields. Speaks to the farmers, as does the color pallet. But I don't love the asymmetric shape it is in. Looks too much like a guitar pick.

#8 I like this. Seems to speak to the ranching history of the North Dakota. That is an angle i had not thought of before.
