Regardless, I think this is a better representation of the options here

I hear.
To me the deals revealed just looked like a D with a weird shape on it until someone mentioned peeling back. (and I don't really see the owl eyes.)
Apparently I'm in the minority here.

Nah I agree with you. It was definitely different but IMHO nothing has jumped out as being awesome. I think  you get what you pay for. If you want a great logo you're going to have to put down money for it. Those big corp brand logos didn't come cheap so I'm not sure why anyone expects to be blown away with any logo done for a bottle of scotch.

I like the page turn concept, but the straight edge on the left is boring, how about something like this (crudely done in Paint).
+1

I agree about the straight edge being boring. Nothing should stop you from taking the best ideas of each concept and coming up with something based on that. As I pointed out above, the logo shouldn't be viewed in a vacuum, but rather in context of the tagline to go along with it. Is "Deals Revealed" your selected tagline?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

No you're not, I'm with you as well, the smiley face lacks professionalism, the pealing D lacks freshness, the double d owl is fresh, cutting, and professional.

FTR this was talking about the original version. Some of the new ones are more clear on the peeling back. (but with those the shape of the pealed back part doesn't match the base at all and my OCD can't handle that :) )

I'm going to continue proving I have no design skills :D

A good designer should easily be able to make the flap look like a plane taking off, and maybe a wing that would make the D look more like a D.

Took me five minutes in paint.

I think that had some potential. although it definitely does need some polishing up and adjusting the proportions.

That's the latest design trend, using two different fonts in one integrated logo  ;D

The alternative solution to that is having it peel off on the other (straight) side.

Bottom line, if the concept is liked, the execution of the concept could be modified and up for a separate design contest.

Yeah, I was playing around with the paper airplane idea, but I am not in the mood of geometric calculations right now so I did not perfect it...
