Bucket Buddy

There are many good designs. The ring is used closer to the bottom of the bucket and not the top. It slides over the bottom and allow the bucket bottom to be picked up by the Bucket Buddy handle. The top of the bucket is lifted by the bucket handle like normal. The Bucket Buddy is used to lift the bottom of the bucket to dump the contents. It isn't a ring that fits the top or used as a guide for dumping or pouring contents. Hope this helps.

The ring fits about 2" above the bottom of the bucket so the bucket extends past the ring.

It is not necessary to use the bucket in the logo but does add to the tool purpose.

I believe I like the bucket in the logo to show what the tool is intended for. It should be placed towards the bottom of the bucket with the bucket passing through the ring enough to show. Maybe 2" or 1/5th the bucket out the bottom. Show the wire or plastic bucket handle on the top lifted up as if the bucket is being raised to dump. The BB ring would be towards the bottom pointed up as well

This is the concept

There are have been some amazing designs in the contest! You all are amazing and that's why I use 48 logo to make our logos. I needed to post the image of the tool on the bucket right away so you knew how it works. But maybe by not have this your imagination was able to work without limits. You all did great work and made it hard to pick. So many great logos. We have narrowed it down to just a few.
