    #147 I would like two versions: (1) The one you posted that can be printed on a light background, and (2) a color-inverted one (not a simple Photoshop inversion, but something with light colors) that can be printed on a dark background. In addition, I would like the name of the business spelled out “Mercantile Coffee House,” rather than the initials. I would also like versions with and without the slogan. (+/- for the coffee lover) The green shield does not work well for black printing-that was the thought behind having the shoeld brought back)

    #115 the problem with your design is that it is too generic I want something more original. your design is very elegant but not original

    #135 the problem with the griffin is that the image is not original. i need something original that would easily be Identified. Maybe a simplified/ animal with a coffee cup without the coat of arms. i appologise for not noticing this earlier but as I started asking people for their opinion towards selection i was drawn attention to lack of originality that might bring me various problems, included but not limited to copyright

    #148 by making a classical coffee cup shape of points it does not respond to the necessity of being original

    For everybody, especially the designers of #81 and #82. What I would like is a "high-tech" cup of coffee, something that does not look too familiar, something that takes more than a few seconds to be recognizable. I particularly do NOT want royal crests, lions, horses (with or without wings), griffins, or any other animals (real or imaginary).

    #78 also if you could make the color of the shield similar to the brown in 74. Also the same about the color of the animal and shield for 72 please. The green in the shield does not fit(79)
