Just a brief update on the process at our end. As designs come in I make them available to both the board and to some members of the program. These people make up the panel that will make the final selection. I''ll post any general comments from them here.

Hello,

Hi Steve, The general design concept is good but you''ve not captured the seriousness of the subject matter. The Alpaca head in your design is a bit too ''Disney'' for the panel. The logo will represent a national animal disease monitoring program and so needs to generate immediate respect from a quite conservative audience.

Hi

Haven't heard back from you for a while have you had a chance to look at my last two submissions
#137458 & #137459

John D,

Two of the judges have picked 137458 to go to the shortlist. One bit of advance notice in case it makes it to the last three (and for other designers). There are two types of Alpaca, the huacaya and the suri. Both are farmed in Australia. At a full board meeting on Monday, we were asked to consider favouring designs that were not specifically one or the other. I''m not sure that that''s possible - the adults of each type are so different in appearance. But we will have to at least think about it.

An avenue for late entrants to explore would be use of a more stylized alpaca like these

Hi! I've submitted a few designs, would you be so kind and review them? Your feedback would be appreciated!
Thank you
