    logo contest $25 to the winner if I see anything I like, deadline, whenever I want

    the logo must be of highest quality, and the winner will be chosen in secret so none of the participants will know who won, the contest will end whenever I feel like ending it..

    anyone game?

    sorry, but I've had it with these scam logo contests, and would like to hear from some of you designers on this.. being taken advantage of sucks

                      I know you were joking but I hadn't seen the end of this thread, and hadn't made the link with it ....

                      The whole thing simply sucks! It's really unacceptable to see designer working a lot, to provide good entries in scam contests.
                      I think everyhahahaha should take care about who is launching the contest ( even if it's difficult to judge who is serious and who's not ).
                      Newbie's contests should be definitely ignored if they don't have referrals.
                      I didn't make any entry, but I'm feeling sorry for those who did.

                          if you don't like contests don't enter..i don't waste my time on anything around $50 for sure...i think $200 is still slim since it's a contest..

                          i hate wasting my time without getting something in return...sure ..a good logo might attract future customers but a good logo can take a few hours
                          Send me a PM for design work

                              of course I didn't enter that contest, I never enter these contests because I think they not only take advantage of designers but make the whole design industry look foolish.

                                  doornx, are you telling me that you didn't mind suelynn holding this contest, not saying a word througout the whole thing, then seeing someone else post that he was doing the logo for her days after the contest was supposed to end?


                                  You said you hate wasting your time without something in return, I totally agree with that

                                  Designers, let's show a little more pride in our profession for god's sake. What's happening here hurts me, it hurts you and it hurts the design industry as a whole.

                                          Don't get me wrong..i don't approve what he's doing at all

                                          I'm saying that the only reason i would enter a contest would be to attract future customers and not to win the prize

                                          Designers are selling their asses too cheap nowadays..galleries for $15...it takes me 2 / 3 hours to build a decent gallery

                                                      I haven?t followed the bubble café contest in awhile, and have been reading in astonishment at some of the reactions.

                                                      DrewKole's response (below) is a fiery, eclectic mingling of mildly clueless. Clearly I've touched his life in a meaningful way. It was a beautiful moment.

                                                      YOu didn't even post an example here, yet you let the designers of this board give you CREATIVITY through their work?

                                                      You agreed to take on a fucking project while there was a contest going on at the same time for the same project?

                                                      You just killed yourself as a respectable designer on this board, and you're a disgrace to adult designers.

                                                      I for one will never forget this, and will mention it in every thread you pop your stupid fucking head in.

                                                      My post in the Bubble Café logo thread, and referenced in this thread by graphicsbytia is fictional, seeded by a previous GFY logo design contest, where the guy running it had everyone competing against an off forum design firm.

                                                                      DrewKole's response (below) is a fiery, eclectic mingling of mildly clueless. Clearly I've touched his life in a meaningful way. It was a beautiful moment.



                                                                      04-01-2004? Quite observant.

It doesn't really matter to me who runs a contest, even the most upstanding and reputable person, for the simple fact that doing work for nothing hurts everyone! Designers are being taken advantage of period.

                                                                                                          Let me ask you this.. suppose there was a content provider's contest.. and they had to provide enough content for a few tgp galleries to see which one would convert the best. Only the winner would be paid for the content. Do you think they'd do that? Hell no they wouldn't.. then why should designers be asked to do work that's not paid for? But they do it don't they.. that's what I'm trying to bring into the open here.. not the contests, but the contestants. I'm sick of designers being treated like their time isn't worth anything, and it wouldn't be happening if there weren't those that were happy to oblige.

                                                                                                                                  She is really nice person to work for, the exposure for the resulting design work will be really great.

                                                                                                                                  I really don't believe she meant to screw over any of you that posted entries. I asked her to close the contest before I agreed to take on her project, however the thread had sunk and the GFY search function was down.

                                                                                                                                  I have now bookmarked the thread and will remind her to cancel the contest as soon as I see her on line.

Loosing a contest doesn't help my frame of mind much at all.

                                                                                                                                                              Also, I always make sure I'm doing something inbetween jobs. I look at it as an investment. Because of this, I have several lucrative projects going now that were put together with a little time here and there. Much better use of time IMO.

Loosing a contest doesn't help my frame of mind much at all.

                                                                                                                                                                          Also, I always make sure I'm doing something inbetween jobs. I look at it as an investment. Because of this, I have several lucrative projects going now that were put together with a little time here and there. Much better use of time IMO.
                                                                                                                                                                          Nice contest and quite a discussion you have started her Tia, it is good to see and know what is happening. Contest for me are also inbetween jobs. As a good paperdesigner I always get projects from big publishing houses, that is my core, so now as xxxamigoz we have a good team to work in the webdesign business, that is why I observe the quality work and design. And I think that lost time is a waste of money. I support your thoughts Tia...

Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
