\nClean and stands out.
\nClear, bold, good strapline.
\nColour ok, font clear and tidy, strapline better, ruler nice but somewhat stereotypical, overall reasonable.
\nGreat positive message!
\nI ranked this #1, and I’m not sure why. It just drew my eye more than the others.
\nImportant about it\u2019s important to say so.
\nLike the strapline and the ruler\/colours\/size.
\nLove the strap line x 2.
\nMaths should be darker green and counts lighter green.
\nReally don’t like the tag line which is why I rated it last…
\nStrapline hits the core issue really well.
\nThe strap line is great. I like the colours too, v vibrant.\n<\/div>\n

\nGreat message!
\nThe lights font is cool but will age too fast.
\nColour good, font childish, strapline not really catchy. Ruler inoffensive. Overall poor.
\nCapital letters for maths.
\nMaths needs larger font than counts.
\nColours too washed out.
\nLike the positive strap line.
\nLike the strapline and the colours, make the word maths a bit bigger? Capitalise the M.
\nSomehow the top edge of the “maths” line isn’t strong enough.
\nLike strapline. Not sure about font.\n<\/div>\n

\nThis one isn’t v memorable, maybe a stronger colour combo would help.
\nColour ok, font clear, operations slightly childish, overall inoffensive.
\nContrast between text and background would improve this.
\nNeat and simple.
\nDull colours.
\nLike the h\/t thing. Now so sure about the choices of symbols. Why only arithmetic?
\nColour could be bolder. Needs strapline but clear.\n<\/div>\n

\nColour contrast doesn’t work \ud83d\ude41
\nColour ok, font unclear and unprofessional, operations slightly childish, overall inoffensive.
\nFont not dark enough needs to stand out more.
\nWriting needs to be more prominent.
\nThe words don\u2019t stand out enough?
\nColour could be significantly better; why only arithmetic operations? Seems babyish.
\nDon’t like colour. Needs strapline.\n<\/div>\n

\nNeat and simple.
\nLooks tacky.
\nPut something behind it, maybe a bit plain?

\nThe colour and look is jaunty and cold, but a little empty.
\nGood colours, clear font, clean design overall.
\nBoring x 2
