When a contest is open like this, soft plagiarism conquers. Contestants saw other posts and work from there, making it hard to distinguish original ideas. It's competitive, but unhealthy.
Guys, We are going over these now. Very hard decision to be honest. There are a lot of GREAT entries and we have to choose one. This is much harder than I thought it would be. Please bare with us. If there is something that someone feels is copied, please let me know, PM me or post here.
I want everyone to know that this was a very Hard Decision! Evo, congrats. We fell in love with this design and although a LOT of designs came close, this is the one that we ended up liking the most. I thank everyone for submitting, you all did great work and are very talented designers. Evo, please PM me your paypal email and would be great if we could jump on Skype. Thanks everyone.
Wow, I really did want to see who the winner was. Realy great contest. Great job everyone who entered. Was an honour to compete. -bows
