    Some feedback:

    the_gallery:
    The design doesn't stick out, be more creative and watch the quality.

    SNiiper:
    The Quality of the typhographic is good, Loose the headphones and jack - insert a plug instead.

    Frank123:
    The quality is very bad, the logo is to busy and I dont belive it is in line with the criteria set above.

    Fidel_Castro:
    Nice to see you are trying vectors. Nice entry.
    The style however is not fitting this particular project. its too "happy".
    Loose the speaker, dj, rack and whatnot. Just plug and a chort.

    Overall regarding the PLUG:

    You guys can get very creative with the plug. i.e plug it into the logo or plug it into the "floor" infront of the logo, or lay out nicly next to the logo where you are suppose to plug it into the logo.
    Just some ideas to help you guys.

    About the overall feeling:

    These guys are remix dj's, They do prodigy, gus gus, björk, muse etc...
    Keep away from the "happy" feeling or the 2.0 feeling. Think grunge or
    retro even.

    At the moment SNiiper is in the leed with best try price.

    To make this more fun I have decited to add a 2nd price of 50$!

    That means if no winner: best try gets 25$ and runner up 10$
    If we find a winner, winner gets 100$ and runner up 50$


    Also I will send the winner pictures of the crew wearing t-shirts and whatnot with the logo
    and pictures of the logo in the background of one of their concerts for his portfolio.

    I understand, I do notice that illustrator does have a few more export abilities that Photoshop does not.
    Well, I was only trying to help, As I find photoshop easier to use.

    I know you specified vector graphics but,

    You just turned down DustyDog, because he only does pixel based graphics and id say he's one of the best graphic artists on here!!

    Just check out the logo he did for me:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=2667764&postcount=46

    Anyway just my two cents, i highly recommend DustyDog!

    Fide_Castro:
    Logo doesnt stand out, doesnt fit the overall feeling they are looking for.
    They dont want the logo to be in a container and they want the logo in line
    with the current color scheme.

    Istvan:
    The logo is too childish and the cord pretty unrealistically staged.
    Also again, Keep the current color scheme.

    retzseo:
    This one caught the eye ( if it would be staged in their current color scheme ) they like your creativeness with the plug. The overall quality is also good.
    The problem is the feeling of the logo, they feel its a little too corporation-al. If you do redesign you might want to incorporate only one plug :)

    SNiiper:
    Same good quality we like, Color scheme in line.. all good things.
    It would be good if you could stage the plug the way it doesn't make the logo too large in height.

    warpser:
    Illustrator IS a vector program, it has nothing todo with a few more export abilities. Import a photoshop file into flash and start working with it there. ;) www.adobe.com if you want to read up on this.

    the_gallery:
    We do like your creativeness on this one. The logo is a bit hard to read as it is to busy, we like the way you stage the plug, the quality needs to be improved.

    cumminsj:
    I have not turned down anyone. With full respect for Dusty Dog I think there are plenty if kick ass designers here. Nice logo he did for you, hope you but it to good use. Again, cant use non-vector on this project so we will just have to continue with out him ;)

    Im sorry but this style is not appealing to them.

    retzseo:
    They like only blue :)
    The like your plug still and wanted to ask if you could make
    this with just the word "plugge'd" and not Crew. Maybe use the plug as
    the L in "plugg'd".

    The contest is still open for submissions, will run this contest for at least a
    week.
