LOGO design contest :
 

Hello Folks,

Anyone can make a great logo to replace this one ?

The logo needs to have aproximatively the same colors and must look good both as color or as black and white. Text needs to be readable.
Logo is for a swing dating site.

$500 cash prize?

Are you that good ?

Are you that ignorant? You started a contest with no prize.

Try and catch up.

Yeap, prize would be decided upon the offers of the designers ;) Like a little bidding.

Ignorance or originality are one step away. One might take one for the other if is not paying attention.

Good luck with that

Yep, you're right. A broke ass bum with no intention of ever making money in this business might take upon your offer.

Good luck :thumbsup

Or someone from an emerging economy ;) Money have different values, depending on the country ;)

I don't enter these contests so I will offer my advice to you.

Put a fixed price. Or designers have zero idea what you're looking for. Do you want a super high class design worth a grand? Do you want a quick 50 dollar piece of shit?

Remember ... designers wont put the time into something they aren't sure they can win. Bidding based on a portfolio is easy. Actually putting 8 hours into a logo and then just hoping it met the criteria is not.

Fix your price, and explain what direction you want. You will get better results from the entrants :) Good luck!

What Dave said :thumbsup

I agree with Dave, you need to name your price

I agree with Dave :thumbsup

Pretty much with logo design you can either a) hold a contest with a set prize, designers submit designs and you choose a winner or b) have people bid out their design work and you pick who you want to work with based on portfolio and price and are locked in to working with that designer on the finished product.

Wanting someone to make an investment of their time w/o a set prize and no guarantee you will pay anyone just isn't an appealing offer to most, if not all, people in this industry.

you will decide what the prize will be. you started another decade of contests, where contestants dont know what they can win. you will be lucky if you will get one entry here

you did a great job giving color instructions, finish it up by offering X amount for the logo you end up using

This will fail...

Worst design contest ever. What designer will consider making even a rough draft for a "contest" using a .ro domain with no prize amount listed?

and the winner is ... please contact us with your epass so we can send you your 5 dollars

Did I win?

$200 - I think is ok for a logo.

TheStout > I like that you are very smart ;)

"Design Contests" are for high school kids.

There shouldn't be any of those here.

Put up real money or fuck off.

:2 cents:

so the contest prize is $200 finally?

great now we have prize, and what about a deadline?

:disgust

Deadline 10 days.

good luck whit that

Nice contest!
