•	water & sky (dark turquoise #00CED1 or   0,206.,209) or  Teal (#008080, 0, 128,128)

                                                        Aloha logo masters!
We are a very small eco-nonprofit trying to change world on a shoestring funding small enough to fit in a piggy bank, so we can appreciate working long hours like creatives like each of you put into every design!
We were so impressed with your ideas that we wanted to make sure we spread some love around (no...not Bitcoin...). Cash!! When the contest ends on the 13th,  we will message the top four designers notifying first place and confirming 2,3&4 wishing to battle it out for second place .
And we will give $200 to be shared evenly between 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in the form of a guaranteed participant  fee. Participants will have 48 hours to take the rest of our piggy bank funds:) 
Plus if a second place winner is chosen, the second place winner will receive $100 prize.
It’s our little nonprofit’s way  of saying “mahalo nui loa” (thanks from the bottom of our hearts) and thank you for all of your good energy, great ideas and designs. We love you all, but the piggy bank is not amused
So bust out that pencil , sketchpad and sketch your masterpiece to win your way into the top four:) good luck!
