    matchstick, thanks for the new one. I am sorry to disagree with you but I don't think this is a cleaner look somehow. I am not sure if it's the colours but it's a little hard to focus and read one part of the logo. Maybe all the text needed to be in one colour. Or maybe it is a cleaner look but just a little harder to read text.

    nwsn: I am not sure about the new ones. The first one looks good and it's the one I like the most out of the three of them. I like the top one and at the same time there is something I'm not sure about. Perhaps it's the fact that it's simply placed on top of the American flag rather than having the flag and the logo better combined somehow. Still, this is a good entry and it does have a corporate look.

    collegerut: thanks for the new ones. While I still really like the font you used I don't see how it matches the background. This combination that you used still looks a little messy and hard to read. I don't think you need to plae Grade A twice in the logo as it makes the logo even more complex.

    neilparnham: thanks for entering this. I generally like your designs and style very much and that is why I had a mixed reaction when I saw your entry. I thought wow, great neil is entering this. And then when I saw the logo I was a little dissapointed (because I always expect more from you :) ). I just don't see the American look/feel that I was after. It is a very pleasant and creative logo but I need something to look American or have an American feel to it and I also need something simpler (but not something plain). Perhaps play around with the colours and make them more American and also Grade A Milk needs to stand out more. I am only suggesting this in case you consider giving it another try.

    To everyone else considering this: my favorite two so far are xaralee #55 (the one with the flag in it that strangely enough seems to have dissapeared from the thread) and also offiri0 #57. What I particularly like about these two entries is that they are simple (but not plain), easy to read and they also have a corporate look. This corporate look is something that I really need. So if you guys are planning on entering this xaralee and offiri0 are the ones to beat. I need to get some rest now but will be back in the morning my time which is roughly 10hrs from this post.

    Hey guys, thanks again for the great entries. When I woke up this morning I saw the sun shining through my window and I was sure that means some new great designs. I have decided on the finalists and there is three of them: xaralee, ofiri0 and neilparnham. It's up to you the finalists if you want to do some changes and compete for the first and second place.
    Xaralee I have a fairly good idea about your design and even though I will need some alterations you don't have to do anything right now.

    Offiri0: I like your last submission and if you can make the flag more blurred and see if you can somehow improve the font so it looks a little more corporate.

    neilparnham: thanks for the new great entries. I like them all. However, I would like to see particularly either of the bottom two designs where the A is, to make the words grade and milk bigger (perhaps the same height as the letter A) and see if you can give an emboss or bevel effect or whatever to the whole logo so it looks sharper more modern somehow.

    If any of these three finalists are not going to do any changes that is fine. Just drop a line here so I will then decide on the winners. I will wait on the finalists before I choose the winner.

    I would still like to provide feedback for the last entries I haven't commented on. You guys are great and thank you for entering this.

    callistasdesigns: Thanks for the entry but I don't think it somehow flows well together. Certain elements in the logo don't seem to match

    matchstick: definitely cleaner now and a lot easier to read. Nothing wrong with it except that I liked the winning entries better. Thanks again for taking part in this contest. It's great to see a positive attitude and perseverance.

    nwsn: it's hard to say but somehow your new entries don't look as easy to read as the previous ones and they also look a touch cartoonish and I was after something more corporate. I appreciate the try.

    watari: thanks for the new entry. Always great to have you enter my contests. Your new logo looked good but I think that somehow using three different fonts didn't make it as stylish as I would have liked. I am sure this could have been fixed but I need to end this contest. I really liked the Grade A Milk part of the logo. It looks really neat but unfortunately doesn't flow together well with the rest of the design.

    turns: thanks for the entry but it was just a little too American. I wanted some American elements in it just not too much. I'm sure with a few touchups it would look better and more corporate but because I had several good entries to choose from I will go with some other entries this time.

    Thanks Neil. I also went in bed last night just before 3am. Not a smart thing I must admit. I look forward to seeing it tomorrow.
