Hello designers! Thank you for participating in this contest. I am very grateful. Please note, I am getting many submissions with the letters "L" and "C" put together. Howeer Be careful as this letter combination in that format looks like a wheelchair. Love the effort! Keep those submissions coming! I love seeing what you have. Added Monday, April 3, 2017
Hello. As a clarification to the note above. The L and C combination in this way looks like a wheelchair and is not the image we are looking for. Thanks! Added Monday, April 3, 2017
Hello. Good work so far. I am getting some great submisssions. The best ones so far play on the themes with 'light' and/or being hired. Let's keep going with this. Good job again. I look forward to more submissions.
Added Tuesday, April 4, 2017
Some of the images that have come through that I have liked that have played on the 'light' theme are modern versions of: lanterns, 'rays' of light, candles etc. Remember - modern, professional, and feminine.
I would also like to see some submissions based on getting hired.
Good luck all!
