Thanks for the in-depth reply, it was interesting reading. Just to clarify, I am not set on having a shoe or not having a shoe, I don't mind if there is no shoe in the design, I'm really just looking for the best looking design for us, and I don't really know what that is until I see it. Thanks for all the entries and keep them coming up, I will make more in-depth comments within the next few hours on individual entries.
Still want more entries guys, I will close the contest in a couple of days, but keep them coming in as there are some really good ones so far.
Very good, I figured that either way the logo is ok with or with out shoe. I will try both and submit designs for your contest later today.
