    Thanks for your interest. I guess I never really asked the previous contest participants/winners to leave feedback. Good idea though. I'll make sure to do that from now on. Thanks!

    Thanks for your interest. The design contest is for the creation of both a logo and the business card. I need the logo file seperate so I can use for t-shirts, yard signs, letterhead, etc... Good question.

    I like you entry. Just a couple points of feeback.

    #1) The Ohio graphic. I am concerned that the shading may wash out the first name. Perhaps we could just have the outline of the state (thick blue outline) and delete the shading and the red star. Also, not too keen on the font for the work "elect". Finally, is it possible to straighten out the graphic so its not leaning.

    #2) Could you change the sentence at the bottom to read: Republican 21st District. Sorry I probably shouldn't have put the word candidate in the intial post. My bad!

    Looks good. Thanks for your entry.

    Thanks for your entry. Feedback below:

    Proof #1: Too busy and hard to read. Basically a restructuring of nwsn3twrkshp submission.

    Proof #2: Good submission. I like the use of space and color. I really like the font you used for "elect". Which one is it? Only one suggestion. The "Republican 21st District" is a small and hard to read. I would make it larger and balance it in the space.

    Thanks for your entry.

    Hello everyone thanks again for your entries. It was a tough decision and we really liked all three submissions but in the end we selected nwsn3twrksp's entry as the winner of the contest.

    I'll send a private message to him to complete the business card layout as well. Thanks again everyone. Regards!
