Thanks to everyone who participated. So far there's no clear winner, so there's still an opportunity for others to participate if they're interested. bizdakol - pretty cool. no "wow" factor, but it's not bad at all. sandeepramje - looks classy, but as my girlfriend pointed out, it's too feminine. sorry man. llothcat - there are thousands of free fonts you could've downloaded. I have no intention of persuading you to participate in this particular contest, but I would say you give up too fast. tomeek - it's pleasant to look at, but I wouldn't say it's worth $50. James'78' - thank you for participating, but I don't like. (hey, why beat around the bush?) Alneo - I wish I was in the business of selling fish, this would've been perfect. Unfortunately I'm a web-guy, so it doesn't correlate to my job at all. sorry mate. AddictedtoFate - nice idea, I like that the colors match with the first and last name. The problem is that it'd be very difficult for me to brand, because the ying&yang image is already ubiquities. sk8boarder1414 - pretty cool. I like where you're going with it. If you have any other rough ideas I'd be glad to see them. Nine - I'm looking for a shape, not just the name. Fonts are important, but the logo's "shape object" is what people recognize first. sketch - sorry bro, I'm not feeling it. Thanks again for all your submissions.
Sorry about the delay guys, I would like to postpone the contest ending until Thursday night I'm am not feeling that well so I don't think I can make an accurate decision at the moment.. I'm also waiting on someone to help me make the decision so I can weigh in her opinion and pick the best winner. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Thanks! Oh thats true huh, I never saw the link to the site. If he choses my concept I can change the color and layout to fit the site better
After a long delibiration with my colleagues and girlfriend I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that there is no clear winner. Some of the submissions (like the ones by AddictedtoFate and tomeek) were very good but they do not fit the current layout and message of my job and sites. I would advise you guys to remove your logos and resubmit them to other contests. If your idea did not match my current site, it does not mean that it won't match other people's sites. I'd like to thank everyone for participating and to wish you all good luck in future contests.
Another contest to waste the time of those involved, when will DP change the rules on these types of contests? The designers said that if it needed to be modified to fit your current layout they were more then happy to do so.
