Feedback please.

Thank you for your design submissions. We have reviewed all of them now and given individual feedback to most. Some of the submissions really positively surprised us with interesting ideas and nice execution.
What we are finding is though that many have not understood or read the design brief (pdf upload) and thus many of the designs are in the wrong colour, too flat, not shiny/sparkly and not 3D, not communicating our corporate identity of uplifting and transformational, working with robotics and AI, etc.
We are looking forward to your improvements and thank you for your submissions!

Thank you for the submissions. Until now, only 1 designer even came close with colour combinations. We are looking for logos in a shiny dark sapphire or vibrant deep royal blue, and sparkly silver like on a Mac Pro computer. We are getting submissions in turquoise, orange, etc.
Also, the main text, ASCENDANCY does not have to remain plain. It can have texture and layers like the tmp picture file we uploaded.

Dear Designers
We are going to update and simplify the design brief shortly to make it clearer and hopefully easier. Thank you for all the submissions so far. We haven't found what we are looking for yet but are looking forward to receiving more original and creative submissions.

splitting the award like that doesn't help you at all...

Dear Designers, thank you all for your 95(!) submissions. We saw a few very thoughtful designs and believe that we have found one that excites us the most as it is truly a unique and professionally crafted piece with which we can start our visual identity. Again, thank you for participating and we wish you the best in your future endeavours.
