Everything else aside, you asked for the designs to be posted and for a vote - both of which happened, and then after that you found another reason to not pay by asserting that they just recently whipped up a new design for you. I don't honestly believe that happened.

Brad,
Please read the threads then
This has
ALWAYS been a 'quality' issue and, in the thread i gave you a link to above, many well known GFY'ers even state that the work was sub-par.
Here are a few quotes for you to recap though, i know you are a busy guy and dont have a lot of spare time..

The ideas aren't so bad ... but it seems like the guy who did the job isn't a pro and very experienced graphists ... did a lot of mistakes a lot of new graphists do .

I don't pay for designs unless I'm happy with the work. I don't pay an electrician for work if I'm not satisfied with his job. I don't pay the cleaning lady if she does a shitty job, I make her ass come back and then I pay her once the job is done correctly. This is how the world works, not the other way around.

Webmasters choose a designer based on their portfolio.
If the end result isn't of the same quality level that their portfolio implies they are capable of, then it's a bait and switch.

i dunno - i don't expect to pay for designs i don't like. plenty of designers have managed to meet my requirements, but if you make a design in a totally other color scheme, you can 100% expect that i won't be buying it.
i don't know the guy at blue, but i wouldn't have been thrilled with these.

Now go view the results of Andrews poll and see how many in that list i quoted voted for Andrew, even though they agree it was a shitty design they tried to palm off on Gary and I.
Although my name is the one being posted about, this doesnt just affect me, it affects Gary and ultimately, he is the one in charge of getting payments authorized, hence my comments about ruining a good friendship
