    In the last 12 hours of the contest anything can happen!! I have not yet awarded and finalized the decision and your chances of submitting a winning draft is still very possible. At this point only the best and highest quality submissions can truly compete. Go ahead and give it your best shot.

    I have again included in this message a commentary to give a general direction for the designers before they start any new jobs or revisions.

    The Logo design should be in Arabic with only the URL in Eglish. The Arabic for Layyaqa is "ليــاقـة"

    The overall design approach chosen by other designers was to combine the emotional element of a lotus with the physical element of the body in an empowering pose.

    Also some designers have chosen my option of including the ROYGBIV Chakra Color theme which works best as accent colors. Which as an option to go with as long as the primary base used is the lavender, violet or light purple.

    Please ensure the logo:

    1. Industry Relevant
    2. Feminine and Elegant
    3. Combines both the emotional and physical elements
    4. Primary design is Arabic
    5. Target Audience is Upper Class and Affluent Females
    6. Simple, Clean and Uniform Design
    7. Must be on white background

    Hope this gives enough direction. All designs not meeting the above requirements will be eliminated.

    Best of luck to you all and may the best design win. Remember less than 14 hours left so hurry and submit your best work now.

    In the last 24 hours of the competition I expect many last minute submissions that will not be able to make the necessary changes and revisions to their designs if they start from a base that is not inline with the brief or general design comments left in the commentary section of the page. I recommend reading the brief and the comments before starting any of the designs.

    The other English fonts chosen were eliminated. For now Lock Draft #281 for the English version. There is room to improve on the URL smaller text (www.layyaqa.com).

    Draft #252

    For the Arabic we need to focus on completing this design as we are running short on time. Please provide me with more Arabic fonts selection that meet the overall design requirements.

    Also note that the Arabic should be extended from "لياقة" to "ليــاقـة"

    The URL should be English in both designs.

    Try one design option where the human body is White with a purple glow around or outline.

    Drafts #186 and 187

    Are too harsh
    Too pointy
    Too Dramatic
    COlors are too dark
    Lotus flower looks like fire
    Pose looks violent or painful more so than feminine, peaceful and empowering

    Please use a solid color for the font.

    I will maintain these designs on the consideration as I would like to see the other color options I mentioned in your previous design before I can shortlist amongst them.

    Please explore other fonts and work on Adapting the Arabic Layyaqa vs. the Current English one.

    ********* IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ************

    In addition to the color scheme which has been stated in the Project Brief and the exceptions that some of the considered designs have been allowed or requested.

    Another route that is optional to be explored from the designers for the "Color Scheme":

    Please try to use the Chakra Colors in a light and soft translucent manner going to 7 colors within the lotus flower design:

    ROYGBIV

    Red (Use a feminine Maroonish Red)
    Orange (Use a feminine Shade of Amber)
    Yellow (Use a soft light feminine Yellow)
    Green (Use a spring Green)
    Blue (Use a Sky Blue or light aquamarine)
    Indigo
    Violet (Violet Amathyst)

    Also see which above colors would work well with the font.

    *********** NOTE ************

    Remember this is another area which the brief will consider in addition to the colors mentioned in the brief and the general comments below.

    Also these colors should be used sparingly as we want to maintain a simple color pallete for the logo and these would be preferred to not impact the main color scheme of the Logo Icon and Text which must still look feminine, clean, simple and impactful.

    Drafts #138 to 143:

    Comments in general:

    Colors and Shades that have worked best (Lavender, Light Blue, Light Green, Gray, Light Pink)

    Please remove any outline from the pedals of the flowers it is much nicer without the border lines.

    Till now your drafts #119 and 120 are the best color selection please resubmit with the above changes no borders and the color scheme mentioned.

    As for the fonts there is still work required on that front. There is much more room for improvement here.

    All in all this design still has a lot of potential and is a great design foundation. I will go ahead and eliminate your latest submissions awaiting the redesigns from your side.
