re: .
recent logo contest
Well, I need a logo for a web site that I'm currently developing.
I've already shopped it out to a couple designers but did not receive anything that felt right. I would like to be able to take advantage of this large group of designers so many different aspects could be explored.
We want a small logo (maybe 150 pixels wide) so it's not the dominant thing on the page, but something that will be useful for site branding as well.
What are the "acceptable" guidelines for these types of things? I'm not sure if I'd call it a contest, maybe a bounty.
What if no submissions fit our needs, are we still supposed to pick a winner and payout?
What would be an acceptable monetary level?
Do we need to supply an "end date" even if we don't really need to meet any specific deadline right now (still getting the pages designed and I have some more backend processes to finish writing).
We're even open to just sketches -- looking for the right feel more than a final product. Text only or text/graphics is acceptable also.
