1) I AM BASING THE $75 ON THE ESTIMATED TIME YOU'D SPEND WORKING ON IT. I'm figuring a good designer can have a nice one done in 30 minutes, and the amateur designer maybe 1 hour. No fucking graphic design firm pays employees $75 an hour unless you're asking for 3d rendering or animation - WHICH I AM NOT - so theres absolutely no justification for me to pay more.

2) If your going to make a logo so fancy it'll take more than an hour, DON'T BOTHER, we don't need something amazing and 3d rendered, just something basic and clean with a professional touch.

Like I said, if it would take you more than one hour to make a basic logo - you're an amateur. Otherwise, im paying $75/hour, and im not asking for more than $75 worth of effort.

Ok, done with the GFY games now

P.S. - Platinumpimp, nice submission!

A logo is more than just the 20 or 30 minutes it might take to knock it up in photoshop. It's coming up with various concepts and seeing which work best. It's the creativion of those ideas you're paying for. Not the tedious photoshop work. And even so, this is supposed to be a contest. In a contest, you win a prize. This prize is pitiful. It's like hiring a bunch of labourers and telling them that the one that gives you the best work after 5 days gets a week's worth of wages. Where's the incentive to put in effort for a job you might not get paid for? The whole point of a contest is that the risk is worthwhile. Time and effort for a chance at $75? I think not.
