I attached the Villages logo Just as a reference to the simple style they used.
We would like to incorporate something nautical to our logo like anchor, ships wheel, ect
Below is the press release that give info about our new marina location.

Major Announcement: Henry Harbor Marina Becomes Hennepin’s Big Bend Marina.
We are thrilled to officially announce that we are relocating our marina from its current location in Henry, Illinois, to a new home along the beautiful riverfront in Hennepin, Illinois. With this move comes a new chapter for us and a new name: Hennepin’s Big Bend Marina.
This decision is bittersweet for our family. Henry has been like a second home to us for decades. Our connection to the marina dates back to the 1970s, when my grandfather kept a boat there, long before we took over operations. However, due to differences over the terms of our lease, both we and the city of Henry have decided to part ways amicably. We are deeply grateful to the town and the friends we have made along the way, and we wish Henry nothing but the best as we move forward.
While saying goodbye to Henry is difficult, we are incredibly excited about the opportunities awaiting us in Hennepin. The relocation process is already underway, as we move our docks and equipment to prepare for our reestablishment in this new location. Here’s what you can expect at Big Bend Marina:
• 30+ Individual Slips: Spacious and modern accommodations for your boats.
• Linear Docking: Perfect for larger vessels.
• Amenities: Water, power, gas, diesel, and pump-out services.
• Bathhouse: Convenient facilities for our members and guests.
• Pontoon Rentals & Canvas Shop: Continuing the services you’ve come to love.
• Exciting New Features: Stay tuned for more announcements!
Why Hennepin?
Hennepin offers a charming and convenient setting for our marina members. Located just downstream from Riverfront Park, the marina will have within walking distance the following:
• Dining & Groceries: Spratt’s Tap, Hennepin Food Mart, and Rolando’s Supper Club.
• Conveniences: The Laundromat
• Boating supplies, parts and repair: Hennepin Marine
• Recreation: Beautiful parks, Father Hennepin Cave, walking paths that connect to trails in the Dixon Waterfowl Refuge, Hennepin Canal, and some of the best 4th of July fireworks in the area.
A Glimpse into Hennepin's History
Founded in 1831 and incorporated in 1837, Hennepin is the county seat of Putnam County. The village was named in honor of Father Louis Hennepin, a French explorer who was among the first Europeans to document the Illinois River. The Putnam County Courthouse, built in 1837, stands as the oldest county courthouse in Illinois, still serving its original purpose. Notably, Abraham Lincoln visited this courthouse during his 1845 campaign for Congress.
The Story Behind Our New Name
The name "Big Bend Marina" is inspired by the natural geography of the Illinois River near our new location. Just upstream of Hennepin, the river makes a dramatic curve known as the "Big Bend," or sometimes the "Great Bend."
We are excited to join this welcoming community and to offer you an even better marina experience in this vibrant town.

Welcome and Thank You for Choosing LogoContest.com!

Here are some helpful hints to make sure you get the most out of our site, and your contest.

DO NOT FINALIZE YOUR CONTEST UNTIL ALL REVISIONS ARE MADE AND THE EXACT DESIGN YOU WANT IS SHOWING AND RANKED #1.

1. Please rank your submissions or post general comments a minimum of 1 time per day while your contest is running. This is required should you want to request an extension to your contest and will produce the best results from our designers.

2. Once your contest receives 40 design concepts, your prize amount will become "Guaranteed".

3. Please make the most out of our messaging and comment systems.

a) Place general comments on this main contest page to give all of the designers your preferences and what you would like to see or not see.

b) Clicking on any designers submssion will bring up a page of all submissions by that designer with an option to post private comments pertaining only to his work. (Only the contest Holder and that designer can view and post to this page)

c) Clicking on the designer username under a submission will allow you to send a completely private message to that specific designer.

4. Please "Eliminate" only those logo designs that you feel have no chance of winning your contest. (Be aware that eliminating everything may discourage participation from the designers.)

5. Please rank the designs 1 to 10 and there are also options to rank Elements you like, Colors you like, and Fonts you like. This will help guide the designers toward the design that you are looking for. For the best variety of designs, try not to keep the same design ranked #1 for an extended time as this may result in copying of that design.

6. We require that you do not ask one Designer to use elements or concepts from another Designer. The general rule is that, if a Designer was the first to use and submit the idea in one of their designs, they essentially own that concept or idea for the remainder of the contest. We will remove any deisgns that use copied concepts. Requests or ideas you have put in your Contest Brief or posted as contest attachments are fair game and open to everyone. Concepts that are considered obvious will also be fair game, for example: a dog & cat for a pet hospital, shopping bag for an e-commerce company, a tooth for a dentist, initials for a lawyer, etc.

7. Once your contest ends and is in judging mode, any designer that is ranked #1 #2 #3 #4 or #5 will be able to upload any revisions you request. Simply rank a designers entry to allow revisions to be uploaded.

Discussion Guidelines:

1. Designers and Contest Holders please always be respectful of each other, we all have the same goal.

2. Please do not criticize any design publicly, these discussions should only be held in private.

3. Designers may not post any external links to any designs.

4. Please do not ask a contest holder to view your designs or discuss any other designs.

5. Designers can not discuss copied designs on the contest pages and may submit a Logo Dispute to the Admin only.

Our team at LogoContest.com as well as our designers will make sure you are 100% satisfied and want you to leave here with a design that you love!
