    Currently, it's a lot of one pixel lines like if it was done using deluxe paint. I'm looking for something that has more an illustration / comic look. There's a distinct look when graphics are done using a vector package like illustrator. That's what I'm looking for.

    I like the style but apart the text, it doesn't really convey the "oooops, I made a mistake. I need an excuse."

    Thanks for the feedback again. I did use a vector program, I see your looking for a style with thicker outlines. I can work on that some more if you like. But if you are ready to end the contest I understand that too and I appreciate your feedback.

    Time's up! Contest closed.

    First I'd like to thank everyone who entered. I'm really thrilled by the amount of great ideas presented and will look to digitalpoint again for my graphics needs (I have several things in the pipe, so you're going to hear from me).

    It has been really hard to choose. I particularly love the work done by DesignerBoy and A4Hire but at the end I selected the work done by cottonStella (submitted via PM).

    Thanks again to everyone for submitting!

    hmm it isn´t the right way to win a contest. Its not fair that we post our entry, and everything saw it, and the winner is a pm design.
    so its my opininon, i wont participate in your contests again.

    Designerboy , I understand your feelings. Sometimes I think designers like to submit by PM because there are others here who will steal their ideas. At the same time it is kind of unfair to others posting in the thread. And I am sure that JB was not trying to run an unfair contest. Maybe on JB's next contest he will ask everyone to submit in the contest only , or post any PM entries in the thread..

    I'm really sorry if you feel that was unfair :(

    cottonStella was a bit shy on showing her design publicly as she doesn't have much experience in designing mascots. As you will see on the website, I actually choosed one of her logo, not her mascot.

    As you were one of the top designs with A4Hire, could both of you PM me your paypal email address? I will send you a token of appreciation. You both did a very good job.

    I didn't realise that would be a problem. I'm really sorry about that. I really want to be fair. So, for the next contest posting in the thread will be a requirement.

    Hi JB
    You don't need to pay me any thing, I think the contest was fair and I am sure that cottonstella made a nice logo or you would not have chosen it.
    I was just trying to explain to designerboy, why someone might submit their entry through a PM.
    But I have seen many other contests where the contest holder will ask everyone to post all entries in the thread or they will not count. It does kind of make it hard for everyone because the other contestants can not see what they are competing against. And if everything is posted in the contest all participants can see all of the feedback and it keeps everyone on track. Also sometimes someone might send you something that contains some one else s copyrighted work, and many designers here can spot that and let you know if someone is trying to pass off some copyrighted work as their own. Just something you might want to consider for future contests.
    But no hard feelings from me. I thought it was a good contest and again congrats to cottonstella.

    omg :eek: soo much going on here. this is the 3rd timee i submitted my entry via pm, i always post my entry in contest thread. and the reason was submitting via pm was the mascot (lol if you call that thing a mascot) i created. im not good in creating characters soo it was a Disaster :p

    Jacotus Brededin is one of the best CH on dp, its always fun taking part in his contest, dont blame him for accepting pvt entry. lots of ppl here submit via pm, and i dont think there is anything bad in it. anyways here is the winning entry.
