I liked your ideas, they were good. But one thing to consider when looking for Logos is production. There going to be marketed as said, and production costs count.
Your ideas were great, but would be harder and more expensive to produce. The fewer colors used, the better(Production costs jump up considerably with every color added to production.), the less intricate detail, the better (Because intricate details dont reproduce well, especially when sized down. It becomes hard to see, and jumbled looking.)
Plus, simple, clean designs just stick to memory better. Look at Nike, Pepsi, Steeda, Chevorlet, and Ford.
While he looses out big time in orginality, he shows an obvouis lack of imagination and total lack of creativity, he wins in simplicity. You win out big in orginality, your ideas were clean and fresh.
Dont become like me and get discouraged when one or two contests or showings dont go all that well, keep in it. Learn from mistakes, and learn what to expect. Best thing to do to give you and edge in a contest like that is, To know what the "Customer" wants.
