No offense nine. I don't have a problem with yours, it just didn't seem to fit in with my plans as well as the others. The slogan is taken directly from the website. I don't see how it could be offensive, but I think of the slogan in context of the content and goals of the website.
My design consists of a neutral child with both the pink and blue colours, representing both male and female and calm text with a gloss finish. I sincerley can't think of a more direct and formal logo for your site. This attracts people straight away and I apologise for sounding cocky, but in my experience I think that out of all the designs, it would be mine and xpressions that would display the bold message that you are trying to put across. Slogan wise, I am sure many mothers would not like to feel they have been put on the spot : "Do this and then you will get this" > "If I do this, I become a better Mom" In retrospect, I am sure you understand what I am saying. At first glance I would find this off putting, maybe you should speak with other mothers about that. Good luck with your project, at the end of the day it is not me deciding the winner, but what I said is a business, universal view.
The slogan is not mine...rather it was found on the stopmomstop website. Offensive to whom? Were you offended is that why you felt the need to give your opinion? Besides there is always room for improvement. And parenting is definitely no exception to the rule.
Criticizing my work because of a slogan that I didn't even create, putting down other designers' work, then giving your opinion on something that wasn't even ask for is ridiculous and uncalled for. Would you have said something if your design was liked by the CH? Please get a grip. If this is how you take rejection then maybe you shouldn't join contests.
As plain as simple, I look at things from a business perspective, not a personal perspective. If I was being personal, like you are now which is highly un-professional I would say your designed sucked because it was blurry, ladybird is pointless along with the exclamation mark. Who is doing that now. Completley pointless remark because I have not a clue what your on about and even if I did it is irrelevant. This is for his company / site and I am sharing my advice to him. The choice is his Steven's on whether he takes in that information. Learn how to use font. If you honestly think my post was an act of rejection, then you are seriously some next no0b who see things through tunnel-vision. Merely sharing my knowledge on web-design.
My GOSH, Nine! And you still continue on. Anymore? Do you feel reprieve, now? As much as I'd like to entertain your response because I have a lot to say to every single word you typed, I won't. I could play that game with you, again I won't. Why not? I haven't gave any of my opinions only facts. And here's another fact, none of what you stated in your above posts (your opinios) hold any weight. I can break it all down for you so you can see what I mean, but again, I will not. NOTE: not an opinion below. Every word you said is merely a reflection of how you feel about yourself. Literally, and that is a fact. I can provide you proof. Rather I'll let you ponder on it. No one is criticizing anyone's work except you. Why is that? (rhetorical question) Moving on to the contest, please.
I am a fighter, I fight. I am not going to let some computer bum talk to me like I am a piece of crap and do nothing about it. You can do this, you can do that - I don't wanna hear sh*t about how you can break down my words, etc. My opinions are shared for purpose. Again, if you want to tell me how my design is not an icon very default for this genre, stop chatting like you have hairs on your chest and say it. I will criticise work because this is a public forum, yet I mentioned one comment and you become all short skirt about it.
Tomeek is the winner. I'm in the middle of three pseudo-emergencies at the moment, but I'll contact you shortly.
And a green rep to all the participants - save those who got repped for fighting. I appreciate all of the participation. (actually I reached my 24 hour rep limit, so I'll come back and green you all up tomorrow).
Thanks nevetS for great contest. Thanks Nine, i read it as a complement . BTW payment received, files sent, iTrader left...

The site is up now if you want to have a gander at your work. Actually, I'd appreciate any feedback as you guys all obviously understand colors and layout much better than I do. http://www.stopmomstop.com/
