Pinkabee, those are pretty damn good entries in my book...I'm gonna have a tougher time decided than i thought i was after seeing those...

Thanks! Bluewire, I just try my best :winkwink:

this kind of contests are great! They help me out to know which design company NOT to use! :thumbsup (ie a design company asking for designs :Oh crap )

haha very funny....if you noticed the poll yesterday....our design team's attempt won running away.....For your corporate logo (not just your design/development department) .......Its not so much about quality...but about uniqueness....And right now there are two finalists in my mind , and one of which is our design team's...and the board agreed with that sediment....So i look at this as just a further showing of how our logo's are some of the best on the board

so who won?

Those are some nice logos!
But I like PlatinumPimps best, sorry guys ;)

Agree :thumbsup

hey guys, remember!
NOT to use this company! :1orglaugh

His design team? :1orglaugh
perhaps only 1 outsoucing slave working for him! :1orglaugh
Bluewire, you're pretty drama :1orglaugh

Heh...well, looks like this was one fucking huge mistake that blue up in my face. To be clear, my team consists of 2 designers, and 2 programmers (soon to be 3) based out of Seattle, Washington. For those that live in Seattle, our offices are in the North end of Ballard up near the high school. I invite you to come check us out if you dont belive that...lol


...Anyways, I took 3 things into consideration of choosing the winner of this contest....I have listed them in the order of importance:

1) My own personal opinion
2) GFY Member's opinion's http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=416448
(this poll didn't have the new entries however, but amongst the logos that had been made, my lead designer's entry clearly wong based off that poll
3) My friends in the businesses opinions


I'm sure i'll take a lot of heat, but Jake's design won in all three of these categories. So the winner entry is:

http://www.adfrontier.com/fresh/bluewire/inc/

I think a lot of people (despite the poll results) will think that I was bias and unfair. I think it is clear that the people's choice in the 2nd place position was Platinum Pimp's logo set....

PP, I won't be using your logo set, i dont want any rights or copies or anything ...just to be clear. But if you leave your paypal or epassporte I will make sure a nice 2nd place prize of $50 gets you way for you efforts.

well this is a huge surprise! who would have guessed after the poll thread with comments like:
Biased? i don't know - but posting a bs poll without all the entries in - and trashing pretty much everybody who took time to make entries for your contest is so fucking low. - Bad mojo man


Enough said - may your company end like your prices (sig)

The poll had all logos that had a chance. I did mess up on two of the links and replied right away with correct links. I don't think it messed up the results but if it did I appologize. It didnt have the most brand new entries (Thats because they weren't submitted yet)

I don't feel like i trashed people. I felt like a lot of other people that the results of this contest were significantly sub-par. I didn't mean to single anyone out. Again, if I did , I appologize

And about Platinum Pimp's entry. 1st off, i'd like to appologize because I did come off sounding to condescending....HOWEVER, I think you should post the next line in that quote of mine because I went on to say that Platinum Pimp is still the best in the business! I would just like to see him branch out slightly



....Being new in this arena, I don't want to offend anyone and I think if you talk to anyone I've done business with or who I have any other type of business relationship with, I try VERY hard to be fair, proffessional, and curtious and I do so. In the spirit of GFY i got a litttle sucked into my GFY persona versus my real-life/business persona and so if anyone's feeling were hurt by my critisisms of the logo works I appologize. Not trying to get on anyone's shit list.....

However, there are a couple of you that showed YOUR OWN true colors in your response to this thread, I'm glad I got to see this for future reference and nothing more. Good luck to all....

Platinum, hit me with a paypal so I can give you your reward....I think i'm being more than fair on that and to be trashed like i am by pro design labs I think is just uncalled for. I hate to say it...but I've had posts thinking that the one i chose was the best, and plat. pimp's was the best....the poll clearly showed that 90% of people thought either our's was the best or Plat pimps.....Last I checked pro labs efforts didn't recieve a ton of votes or comments? However, I want to tell you...I actually thought they were very good quality of work.....I just don't think they kept the directions in mind....thats just not what i would want a business card personally...just a little too busy for my liking....No need to wish people bad and stuff though...thats just bad karma.

Platinum Pimp, please respond with you paypal or epassporte....any other posts besides that is just someone trying to play an ego game and this is my final post in the thread....

Reward? I did win? How much? :helpme :pimp

what's your e-mail so I will send you my paypal adress.

..heh...i know i said i wouldnt respond anymore but I just wanted to clear this up....


Platinum...I decided that my designer (jake)'s logo was the best for what is needed. The members of GFY backed that up in the poll i had posted.....

...But, i can't help but feel like i should give someone besides my in-house guys a prize because i want to be fair in all this. So I am going to send you a $50 prize for your efforts as a 2nd place prize...

My icq is in my sig, please hit it up...

i told you guys youre all wasting your time... i knew he was gonna fuck everyone over... now there's one more idiot on my shitlist... i'll remember your nick :mad: :321GFY

I contacted you

It's a wates of time to read his bullshit, he is a very dramatic person!

yeah, you're right, we should listern to you!

i'm glad to see you pulled this post back off of PAGE 4 .....so that you could try and get a few last ego battle words in....


Abyss_Al....As platinum pimp told me himself..."GFY and You liked this logo best and even now you're paying the runner up. WTF is your problem"


Now can we just leave this the fuck alone and stop wasting board space...the contest is over ....get over it already..jeez

That's a very snazzy logo. Congratulations!

I think youare the one who wasting board space ! :321GFY

Congrats! All of you did a great job on the logos. Goodluck! :thumbsup

Yep, some very nice logos.

Some nice entries here. Got a few favorites.

There are some absolutely amazing designers working in this thread.

So do you guys feel i was unfair choosing my designer's logo? If you do think so...do you still think it was unfair after hearing that i gave a 2nd prize of 50 bucks for a logo i wont be using?

How about after seeing the poll results?

I think its just a few bashers (probably competitive companies if you ask me..)...but am i way off on this???

Hi, I new here, found this topic very hilarious :thumbsup

They are a lot of nice entry in this contest
I like this one, http://www.imagevenue.com/loc47/d27_bw02.jpg
but I was wonder why this entry doesn't up in your poll?

I agree...that was a good one...It was a last second entry before that poll happend...I came close to picking that one but some people around me talked me out of it....I think it was a real solid job though.

...seeing as platinum pimp was #2 in the poll though i found it fair to give him the 2nd place bonus...

its a big no-no to even let your own designer participate in such a contest. I can understand the anger of the designers here :2 cents:

see...i just dont see eye to eye with you on that point...

1) Its in the rules of the contest. If they didnt like it, then they didnt have to post an entry? And i think many people didnt post because of this fact....

2)I posted a public poll to try to be fair in judgement....Our in-house designer won pretty clearly

3) I gave a 50 dollar prize to a second place logo we are not even using....


Was i really that unfair?

Well personally i couldnt care less who enters the contest - however making a poll before all the entries was in - and making a partial judgement with basis in that poll - thats..bs - either decide for yourself or wait for all entries to come in - before making a poll.

my :2 cents:

I agree ...i should have done the poll on sat. instead of fri. My thinking was that it was fri and the thread had fallen to page 5 or 6. But I deffinitely can understand that point of view...Ironically, for me it was between the last entry that came in (lower case b) and the in-house. Some close friends in the desing biz made sure i didnt pick the b..they didnt like it. Not sure if that was the sediment accross the board or not...



But regardless...I feel i went out of my way to try and be fair about all this between doing the poll and paying out a 2nd place prize...and the disclaimer in place from the begining...I dunno, i just don't think it was that it was unfair at all in the end....

:thumbsup

Before put it into the poll, you out of it? :(

Pinkbee...you i think are the only one with a legit gripe cuz you didnt get to be in the pol...But as I recall you messaged me on icq AFTER seeing the poll and asked if you could still enter....So, i guess you knew that beforehand. I would have liked to have your efforts in the poll however. What's done is done. The issue is closed and I hope we can all move on. My goodness, who knew a logo contest could have so much drama...lol :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

How it´s going with my designs?
