Please with the designs I don't want the hands or bird or leaf etc to be so obvious, I would rather it be abstract and that only some people see each of those figures by lookin hard. What is most important is simplicity elegance something that is easy to rememeber but also relevant, so dont feel the need to stick to bird hand etc, be creative in an abstract way and then tell me what it is. Please see earlier entries that are more abstract - but problem with those is I am not sure what any of those icons are - I don't want some random design so tell me what it is, if it is really apparent what it is then it is not What I am looking for. Thanks so much for the great entries so far. Aleksandra you have been doing the best job. Thank you. I know it is hard when I am not clear what I want and my preferences are coming alive over time.

Just some more thoughts I really like 27 and 22 bc the icons are abstract. I prefer earth tones for colors like brown black beige and green. I'd like to see icons that use letters to double as icons. For example the letter Y in Suyana could be an abstract icon for a hand or dove. I prefer all upper case letters. Thanks!

Great entries! Thanks for all of the hardwork. I have been submitting feedback individually so please see there for more guidance. Also please no more high rises. This is a luxury lodge cabin concept. Nothing with buildings. Can someone make a simple and clean abstract logo that is both a bird (hope) and a hand (service)?

Hi All, entries are improving drastically, thank you! One other idea is to play off the word Suyana that means HOPE. Adding on to what I have already asked for maybe think of some designs that in a clear or abstract way signify HOPE but still fit with the concept as described in the instructions. Thank you!

Thank you all for your submissions. I am hoping for many more. Remember that there doesn't necessarily have to be a logo, it can just be elegant writing. For inspiration please see Joie De Vivre hotels and the logos for all of their subhotels. Looking for something simple yet elegant that can also be warm and mystical. Unique.

#3 is the closest out of all of these but still far off. Generally I like where you are going with it, somewhat abstract but clean and simple. Needs to be more elegant, luxury but also be warm. The font is very standard. What is that icon supposed to be?? Please visit the websites of the companies I mentioned. Thank you!

Yes Eric that is right. Thank you for your submissions. They are very far from what I am thinking of so it is hard to give you feedback other than suggesting you to re read the entry details and visit the websites of the companies I suggested.

Eric, you post a lot of amateur work. You should really work on making them real winners before posting. Can you really see your designs on a luxury hotel sign?

Just to be clear, on these specific designs, you only want, "Suyana Remote Hotels," correct?
