Logo Competition $750
 

Hi

This is for TushyCash.com

Im thinking a hot nice drawing or cartoon of some cute girl small waist big ass or something and some hot looking text TushyCash.com

Prefer it to be one straight line (meaning some cartoon image and the Words TushyCash.com on one line either to the left or right of the image but def the image should be part of the words so it doesnt look like I grabbed some cartoon and put it next to text).

This will be for online and tees etc.

7 days to post design or email it to info at badtushy.com

just hit up bluewire and get it done for half the money and double the quality

Thanks! :winkwink:

Check out our portfolio ... we'll do it superb quality, for a LOT less than the asking price.

Thanks :thumbsup Consider us "in it to win it". We'll post our concepts at the end of the contest. Thanks :thumbsup

"Contests" are bad for the design industry. Any designer who participates in these contests is only contributing to the problem.

Any credible company looking for a logo design should research a design firm's portfolio and then work with them to ensure that a design is created that satisfies the client.

It is unfair business practise to ask designers to invest time and money into creating designs with no assurance that they will get paid.

Do you think it would be reasonable to approach several custom car builders and ask them to each build a car and you will then purchase the one that you prefer? No, you would not. Graphic design is no different.

its unfair if its a 50 dollar contest, please dont get all excited overthere its not like this thread is getting any action at all

if the designers are all right with it, than what is the issue?
if the car builders knew up front what they were getting themselves into, and agreed to the terms, then it is fine

wahoo, tushycash t-shirts!

designers may be unaware the potential damage they are causing the industry. please show an example of any other industry where work is completed without payment.

you may ask a design firm to bid on a contract but designers should not be agreeing to create work without any assurance of getting paid.

www no-spec com

as web masters would any of you agree to a potential member stating that they have $99 to spend and would like to see your members area in order to compare it to the members area of other websites that they are considering?

acually, on the mainstream boards I post on there are contests all the time for all kinds of people, you act as though it is just the adult industry, when in fact contests for professionals are everywhere

the dollar amount is irrelevant.

www no-spec com

precisely why it's a problem. these designers are unware of the damage they are causing the industry.

any business who participates in these contests is actively devaluing the creative work of designers.

www no-spec com

to all webmasters on the board:

ATTENTION! i have $99 to spend on a membership. i am having a contest to see who has the best members area and they will win my $99. please send me a username and password to your members area and i will let you know who wins my $99.

i await your login info.

wow, I just realized you started a site to back this crusade


good luck on that, i think you are fighting a loosing battle, because designers and buyers alike have no issue with it

i didn't start that website. in the right margin of the site you'll find a long list of industry-leading designers who understand the damage it is causing so you are wrong. designers do have issue with it.

i am still waiting for all of your members area login passes so i may download all of your content, compare it then decide IF any of you deserve my $99.

sound good?

Actually, your ideology might have some merit but actuality comes into play and smacks your ideology square in the nuts!

This (like most business) revolves around advertising - it's why we hire designers to create banners/websites we can use to advertise with. Do you think because you are a designer you don't need to advertise yourself/skills/business too?

There are hundreds of designers who post/read this board. Do you think I have time to go look at the portfolio of every single one of them?

Contests are a way designers can post an example of their work and catch my eye. They might not win the contest but will pick up a new client or 2 and a prime example of this is "ella" who posted in the logo contest for 5 star electric in another thread. Until their post I had no clue they/she/he existed and now I do and I just added them to my list to speak to about doing some design work.

Impulse buying and selling... all good graphic designers get that concept and it carries through in the design work for their client. Submissions in logo contests get me to go look at their portfolio.

I'm not a designer so here's my fucking entry. :1orglaugh

I also didn't follow the instructions worth a shit either, but, ya know...I aint a designer.

There's a big difference for asking a designer for an example of their work and asking them to create something for you with no guarantee of payment.

You can educate yourself by going www no-spec com.

That's if you have any interest in understanding why many of North American's top design firms do not agree with you and take issue with your perspective.

If "Ella" is serious about being a designer she will create some kind of online portfolio or have generic examples of his/her design style ready to email you for review.

I believe you're intentionally muddying the waters with "wanting to see examples of a designer's work" with "asking a designer to create a logo for you and if you like it you might pay for it."

Can I please have a username and password to your site so that I may review the content and if I feel it's worth it then maybe I'll pay you for it?

haha, I just found out who this fake nick is...LOL...AWESOME

Sounds like someone's mad cause their submissions are never chosen and the failure to understand the valid and logical explanation given to you is why. You don't have the ability to grasp the concept of impulse buying selling for your customers and that would certainly carry over to any design submissions.

And FYI, paysites do give you free samples of their work - it's called tours and movie samples. Do you live under the dillusion that they got the content for those free?

I got a idea to move this thing along faster.
Logo contest shouldn't take 7 days...that's a turn off.

You could offer $100(or some amount) to the first "honest" entry.
By honest I mean it's obvious that they spent more than 5 minutes.

This will make people want to get an entry in fast and bump the contest.
Plus it will show that you are serious since you paid some money before the contest was even over.

Or

You could say "total payout" is $750 with $400 reserved for the winner.
That way you can payout small amounts for what you think is good before you pick a winner. This will help get more entries since a designer might submit a winner but also get early payouts to earn more than $400.

In short what I'm saying is more people will participate if there is a better chance that they will get at least some prize money.

Some people have entered in dozens of contest and done really great work but they haven't even made $10 for their effort.
That becomes discouraging.

I'm not a designer but I work in the design industry. So your logical fallacy, strawman argument is false.

Yes, pay-sites give free samples and designers also have previous samples of work that they have done. However, these webmasters aren't asking for previous samples of work. They are asking for new work to be created. See the difference?

For the sake of consistency I want to see all of the new content inside your members area so I can compare it to all of the new content on other webmaster's members area and then I will decide IF any of you are worthy of my $99.

That's exactly what you're asking of from these designers and clearly it's not something you would accept from a potential member.

Hypocrite much? Indeed.

repeat much? Indeed!

i love that I know who you are, it makes understanding so much easier

Bingo!

Also, in terms of copyright - once a designer submits a design to a contest they have agreed to the terms of the contest. Without a signed contract that states the designer keeps intellectual property rights and copyright the designer has just handed over a free design to the webmaster. The webmaster has every legal right to use that design without paying anything for it. In most copyright cases if a contract isn't signed the copyright is given to the individual/company that requested the work.

Something for you designers to keep in mind.

Do you now see why it's a bad idea and why any credible designer and company does not engage in these business practices?

I wouldn't say they were mad but more like discouraged.
They make good designs that are worth $200 but the opinion of the contest
starter is that they like something else and all the money goes to that design.
After 20 contest where they could have easily won based on a vote rather that the contest winner's solo decision they feel like they are whoring themselves for free.

Well.. what if I like designer ABC, but at same time I like XYZ design, but usually I hire design CO INC, & well, there's 5 other good ones I like, but damn.. How do I decide who to hire? What if abc is better than xyz. what if this & that & well, you know what? Fuck it.. have a contest & choose which one comes out the best.

Do you honestly believe that when Pepsi is seeking a new ad agency they run a contest by asking several ad agencies to spend their time and money producing campaigns and then pick the best one? Of course not.

The ad agencies sit down with Pepsi, assess Pepsi's needs and then pitch Pepsi on why they can best design a campaign that will benefit Pepsi.

Do you really believe ad agencies pay their employees to produce campaigns for contests with no guarantee of payment? How does one pay themselves and employees without getting paid?

I don't think anybody disagrees with that concept.

They think that it is not a good use of their time try to gain income that way.

Think of it in pussy terms(since everybody understands pussy)

It's like women who want to get married not liking sluts who run around town screaming "Try my pussy for free, no marrige needed!"
If there are enough sluts out there then a lot of guys are not going to get married.

Welcome to the internets. So long as there's designers willing to put effort into contests like this, there will be contests like this. You can still make a damn good living as a designer if you market yourself right and deliver a consistent, excellent product, contests or no contests.

Just one entry?Strange.

Bumpety Bump-O!

I was thinking the same thing. Two years ago this thread would be full of entries.

they will show up the last day and even the last hour. Problem with these contests is that once somebody comes up with something creative, then you have 20 copycats in a row, so most smart designers won't post until the last minute. :2 cents:

actually, you are 100% wrong

one of my best friends in the world works for a HUGE ad agency, and they do create ad campaigns all the time in hoping of "wowing" the ad buyer into hiring them

in fact, he just finished one for BMW, and my first reaction was "holy shit, you are doing bmw ads now?" and he replied "well, i hope so!"

big ad agencies do work on spec ALL the time to gain new clients

I think that is wise no matter what the case is

at least some good conversation came out of this

more or less.

I don't know how it translates to English, but it's called something like "conceptualization meetings", big companies have talks with 2 or 3 ad agencies and they make a mockup of the idea. Up to 10 years ago they were just that, mockups, or story boards when it was about TV ads. WIth technology came "almost finished" mockups, and there are no excuses nowadays to present a mockup in pencil (so to say), therefore there's a misconception that ad agencies work for free. The big ones doesn't, they do these concepts only after some deep talking and candidates are between 2 or 3, no 1000s. Only the small firms, usually "creative boutiques", tend to work "on spec", because they need to showcase their talent, but when ad agencies work like this is because they're after million dollar accounts and chances are 50/50 or 25% at worst.

Speaking of which, I don't enter contests unless I find them amusing. I did enter in one contest because it was fun and non adult (which I want to go towards in the near future). 2 hours later, all color schemes, some of the fonts, some of the styles and effects are used in each and every design after mine. Go figure :Oh crap
