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.

Just my

#1 $125

#2 Ridiculously short deadline

#3 Unclear instructions

= Quickly done designs that you're not happy with.

And YES, time was wasted, because several of us edited designs two or more times at YOUR request.

And your

is obviously not even worth

if you can't see that.

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.

I'll check it out sometime for curiosity... but I do think he picked the best design for where this place is going to be located.

Personally, I have no qualms with the actual design he chose. It is a nice design. The problem I have is that the design was posted after the deadline, which isn't fair to those that worked hard to get theirs in on time.

Ditto.

That last one that won the contest was a nice design. It's hard to come up with something appropriate without knowing what the parameters are. First it was just stated that an agency needed a logo.

Then we were told it is to hang outside the building. That presents an entirely different situation. Is this going into some kind of historic district? Is it surrounded by modern archeticture? This would affect the design of the logo. Colonial lettering doesn't go well with modern surroundings & vice-versa.

To top it off at the end the contest had little to do with what was started. The 'final' version of this contest was to design a business card.

Hey, what happened to the first contest that was started for a logo?

Who was the winner of the contest to design a sign for outdoors?

Sounds like there were actually a few contests in this thread to me...
