On # 89 can you put our business abbreviation (RIC) in black capitals (matching the font with our spelled out name) on the lower right of the graphic where the sailboat was? Or, can you shape the initials to look like an abstract of a sailboat?
Thanks for your work.

#89 is close...can we tweak the graphic....maybe make the art a little more centered or add a sailboat on the lower right to balance the fir trees? Maybe modify the mountains behind to be a little more prominent.
Draft #96 and variation by bhanu are derivative of #93 and variation by jaggu, therefore have been taken down.

We liked the sailboat idea but so far it's just not working for us. How about keeping the wording format (font and position) and just changing the graphic to be a small group of silhouetted fir trees mirror imaged in water similar to this: www.clipartof.com/details/clipart/27905.html.
If we can show these silhouetted trees on islands we'd love it. The islands here in the Northwest have staggered hilltop lines (like the varied tops of fir trees) rather than the smooth straight lines of a volcanic peak.
Please forgive our obsession with detail...we'd like to get this right before we build a lot of advertising around the logo.

We're happy with the wording style, font and positioning. We'd like to tweak the graphic. An ideal Retirement in the Northwest region includes sailing in our San Juan Islands northwest of Seattle. How about changing the tree to Douglas Firs and put a sailboat in there. Maybe it looks like the sailboat is in front of an island with firs on the hills. Google Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce to give you an idea of the scenery in this area. Thanks...we like your work.

Nice work. Our only problem is that "Retirement" alone is not our focus. Our focus is on "Retirement Income." Therefore we'd like to tweek the design to make each of these two words be seen with equal status...equal font size no matter how the words have to be positioned.
Thanks so much for your work.

Lakshmiks - It looks like 19 and 21 are close, but we need to increase the size of Income and keep The and Center the same size. Feel free to move the graphic if that helps.

Lakshmiks - 19 - 24 are great. One question is how could we incorporate the idea of Harvesting? New possible byline could be "Helping you harvest the fruits of your labor". Maybe someone in the graphic picking fruit from the tree? Or something else?
Also, we like the gray in the graphic with the rows or road, but we like the simplicity of the graphic w/out the rows. We also would like to see the sun out of the tree and maybe a touch larger in 19 - 22. Thanks for posting the black background too.
Thanks!

Risky - I like the two drafts, but in #15 could I see the text sharpened, changed to all caps and could we reduce the size of "the" and increase the size of "income"? Also, in #15 can you use the text color from #17?
Thanks!

Adriel - Could I see what #16 would look like with green changed to gray and the other color a softer, less red, orange? Also, with the graphic, I like where your're going with that, but could we see the plant shrunk a little and the graphic either incorporated into the text or the shape of it changed from the diamond to something different?
Thanks!

If you do a graphic here are a few ideas:
-Portray us collaborating with our clients
-Show growth or fruit from our labor (in terms of a plant or tree)
-Try to incorporate a sunset (sunset of life)
Thank you, sir. Don't mind the elimination...just wanted to know what you did or in this case, did not like about it. Thank you again.

Jax - I like fact that retirement income is bolded but we're looking for something that has an overall cleaner look. Also I think it would help if the graphic was more abstract. The % is not what we're after.
