WOW !!! What a Prize!

The winner gets about 1/3 of what the logo is worth!

BornAgainSinner · 03-16-2005, 02:41 AM

Also please note the prize is only if we use your logo, but as someone said the prize is quite low. My client may not like any of them. So I'll up it to $100 to temp people.

Not another one of these idiots. Listen, if you have a logo contest you HAVE TO PICK A WINNER. None of this "if my client doesn't like them, no one wins" bullshit. That will get you instantly banned.

If you can't afford to have a contest then Don't Have One.

Hit up Cvele instead on ICQ 94923440, he does AWSOME jobs (regular and cartoons). He just finished a cartoon for me that is mad pimp

DeadFidel · 03-16-2005, 06:45 AM

Another step back..recent contest are averaging 250-300.
You will not see any quality work for $100, nevermind the fact they you state
if you don't like them you won't pay...that's bullshit.

Wait till PPimp or Galleryseek get a hold of this thread

tre sandman · 03-16-2005, 07:28 AM

Tsk! tsk! tsk! 100$? hmm...you gonna get it good

BornAgainSinner · 03-16-2005, 08:57 AM

Why? I thought this was allowed.

LOL, that's what I'm waiting for, I already got my popcorn.

This contest won't get too many entries, BornAgainSinner, you might wanna take a look at this:
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=444458
to figure out why. Not to mention that you only have 7 posts here so far.

You'll might get some entries for $100, BUT you gotta pick and pay for one. If you want entries I recomend changing your NO-PAY clause. Even then it might be too late.

Beware designers. Is this worth it? Go spend this time on a real client, not some lurker who could run away with your design and not pay.

polish_aristocrat · 03-16-2005, 09:29 AM

whats wrong with galleryseek?

How could I run away? you know the sites url.

Also the reason I say I'll only pay if I use the logo is because what if only two people enter and both are crap?

Nothing at all, in fact one of the best designers here, just that he would not waste his time on this contest.

Chance you take to have several designers compete. This is how it works.

Because it has been common practice to run.

The designers on this board are some of the best in the world IMHO.

They are tired of being screwed around by clients and fake non paying contests. There has NEVER been a contest with design on this board that didn't produce the best logo's a company can buy.

Pony up with a real prize and try again. But you better pick if you post.

Otherwise GO FUCK YOURSELF ....

I am posting this because the designers would rather not distance themselves from a potential client.

Sama · 03-16-2005, 09:42 AM

Post your contest on leadeth.com - A site just started up just for this purpose. There still are a lot of hungry designers out there.....

warlock5 · 03-16-2005, 10:37 AM

Sorry, but if someone with a couple thousand posts flakes I definately don't trust someone with 8 posts to run a contest.

Seriously, there should be some contest escrow service..

galleryseek · 03-16-2005, 10:48 AM

heh... if the dude wants to post a $50 logo contest, let him.

there can be several outcomes.

1.) This, which is most likely, he'll get flamed.
2.) The above + a few shit entries
3.) The above + one good entry which is unlikely.

if he is poor, cheap or whatever and doesn't care about looking like a jackass let him post

That's not a bad idea. It wouldn't be hard to do.

Dude, thats an idea I have been thinking about as well. But it's not doable because of a few reasons.

8 Posts...he might be legit but you never know...so I will skip this one wisely

Nick...

Some of the people enter contests here because of distraction BETWEEN paid jobs.
