Hey, thanks for the support!

However, there's a few things you'd need to tweak before we could consider using your submission:

The biggest issue is that in your version the grass blades are behind the clouds. Also, I'd suggest tightening them up a bit more so they come to a more precise point like the originals.

Secondly, some of the angles in the gallow look a bit off, particularly the horizontal beam; it seems to taper in, toward the joining part just a little too much, the same can be said for the end of it poking out toward the edge of the circle. (I know the original design has these, but these aren't QUITE the same on yours.) If you look closely, too, the original gallow has some small knicks out of its edges to simulate woodgrain.

Also, more subtly, the original actually has a gradient over both the background layer and the gallow layer. We're also suggesting trying to "soften up" the edge of the circle with a slightly lighter colour, if possible.

Sorry to knitpick on this, but we're aiming for something as close to our original as possible (and I know that can be frustrating, copying somebody else's stuff). One last suggestion, for the next one, try submitting it in a bigger size so we can get a better idea of what it'll look like.

Thanks a lot!
