Slightly ripped off, but never mind...original ideas are probably hard to find these days. I wouldnt be happy with such kind of win, but its the matter of priorities...
@megaxx: Who or what did you copy? to start with: ...who else you did copy I think is obvious to all the participants. After all it has to end as it did, bc everyone deserves what he/she pays for.
I'm really sorry if I've taken my ununsed designs from my showcase: http://logopond.com/members/profile/showcase/38068 and adapted them to this contest.
@megaxx, don't be sorry, just mention it upfront next time -to be fair... and whats more important: try to be different not using the same iconic idea as someone else after the CH says he likes it (at least change the colors). I believe marketing has many other symbols that can be used. I am sorry to offend you from copying YOURSELF, but to be honest it is still unbelievable for me that the winning design you posted was made by the same person as the logopond showcased design you provided - bc the quality seems quite different - but thats just my opinion.
