The ranks above are provisional. However the team decides, I want to again thank all the designers who submitted. Your input is greatly appreciated. -jamie, for Longview

Do not post any new images of people with a telescope (unless we ask to tweak an existing design). Longview did not select the image posted by the Admin, and in fact do not like it. We accept that it was the inspiration for one design, but we do not accept or want that photos use for other designs. note only 1 of the top 5 ranks is a telescope

Our team will meet in the morning to review & re-rank (as we did this morning). We have a few comments out to a few of you for corrections & modifications, and the team has not seen all the entries posted after this morning. again, we will purchase first & second place at least. Thank you for all your creative work.

To all Designers,

The number 1 ranked design is using a variation of the graphic below with the contest holders consent and knowledge.

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/telescope-sam-1.jpg (It is also shown as an attachment above)

The current logo has been redrawn and to be fair we will allow any other designs that use this graphic as "inspiration", as long as it is redrawn from scratch and not a direct copy or trace.

Thank you and good luck with this contest.

Thanks, designers, for putting forth so many good ideas. I like the blue & gray designs, where the blue is cobalt blue in color (not robins egg).
I will be purchasing both first and second place logos, and perhaps 3rd place. I'll re-rank after discussions with my investment team tomorrow.
