So you were very vague and unclear about what you wanted, you kept us up late making changes based on YOUR suggestions with suggestions that you might pick us, you extended the contest to a time when most people are sleeping, and then you chose an entry that came AFTER the 3 AM deadline you set?Originally posted by Lexxx

You're on my contest blacklist now. And not because you didn't choose me (I understand and accept the risks associated with entering contests), but because you wasted dozens of hours of designers time here enticing them to make changes, and then chose an entry that came in AFTER the deadline that you set. Very unprofessional way to hold a contest.

If it takes you dozens of hours to design THOSE entries... well, whatever. They all looked like half-assed amateur signs imho.SIG TOO BIG!

What do you expect for $125?Originally posted by Lexxx
If it takes you dozens of hours to design THOSE entries... well, whatever. They all looked like half-assed amateur signs imho.
Do you really expect designers to spend hours and hours to take the CHANCE to get $125? You are aware, I hope, that top notch logo design can run in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars range, right? And that is when the designer is CERTAIN that they get the money.
Case in point, Luka Pensa is one of the best logo designers around and he charges $180 and up. And he's not even U.S. based.
Also, this was NOT a logo contest. It was a sign contest. You want to pay $125 for a logo AND a sign? I took a chance, and so did others, and you screwed us, any way you look at it.
And I didn't say EACH person spent dozens of hours. I said you wasted dozens of hours of designers time. Designers is plural.
And aren't you supposed to be on the way to Montreal right now? Surely you didn't make it through airport security on both ends already?

I had a feeling this contest was gonna be a disaster when he started asking every entrant to make changes to their design.

All you people who complain that this contest was a waste of a time shouldn't have entered in it, in the first place. All the contests are run in a similiar way, I have seen lots of them.
Second of all, those designs took at the most half an hour and not hours, like lots of you complained that it wasted your time. If those designs took you more than 30 min, then you are not a designer in the first place.

A blind man once stepped on Chuck Norris' shoe. Chuck replied, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Chuck Norris!" The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse delivered by Chuck Norris.Comment

Lexxx...
I'm not an entrant, nor would I ever be for $125, but you gave a lot of good designers the shaft, insulted them, delayed payment, made designers make changes and added details halfway through the contest.
This is a poor way to conduct business. You offered a small cash prize...What the fuck did you expect? It makes my $300 contests look like big money, and you know what? I don't burn any bridges, I have designers always on hand for whatever my need is, people try hard because they know I'm honest, upfront and fair. If you ever run a contest again, don't expect many entrants. Good luck with the Agency.
Tootie...Good work, as well as the rest of you.

Considering only $125 was offered and the deadline (initially) was the same day, why on earth would anyone expect a designer to spend more than a half hour coming up with concepts.Originally posted by Lev

"Please drop everything you're doing right now and make me a logo immediately. I'll even give you $125 for your day's wages IF i like it."
That's not the way it was offered. He was asking for design concepts, not a finished piece.
This was a scam pure and simple and I was naive enough to participate in it. Whoever this jerk is in all likelyhood he's going to be meeting with his clients not with his "contest winner" but with all of the logos that looked halfway decent.
Congratulations on getting a bunch of people to do your design proposals for $125.
This isn't sour grapes over not winning the contest, it has just become very transparent what this guy's deal was.
No one presents a client with only one option even if it's a 'contest winner'. It's different if you're running a contest for YOUR OWN use.
If anyone here lives in Boston, take a look at what the sign hanging in front of the Newbury Modeling Group looks like when it goes up. I highly doubt it will be the contest winner. It will probably be an amalgamation of many of these designs.

For a half-assed contest. People didn't even know it was for a sign until halfway through. Heres some free hints..Originally posted by Lexxx
If it takes you dozens of hours to design THOSE entries... well, whatever. They all looked like half-assed amateur signs imho.
1. Wait until you actually know or are able to articulate what you want and provide all the information at the start of the project.. decent and experienced designers will see this as a large flashing warning sign for a problem client on any future projects.
2. Don't insult the designers even if some of the entries were shite especially after adding information halfway through. You're working the marketplace and getting it done really cheap because people are slightly willing to be taken advantage of and write a low prize purse off as exposure or whatever other justification they can find for entering a crappy little comp with ill-defined parameters.
Designers always whinge in comps.. smile and nod because you're winning anyway by taking advantage of the system and their boredom or poverty. Just hope that the next job you may want is in the distant future when designers have turned over or forgotten.
3. Don't expect a Picasso for $125, or a sign, a logo and a business card for $150.. you get what you pay for - no wonder there were only a couple of decent designers bored or poor enough to enter.Comment
