Hello everyone. I wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone who provided an entry for this logo contest. I genuinely appreciate the time that everyone has given in providing so many excellent logo designs. Unfortunately I can only pick one winner here. This was a very difficult decision to make. As I said before, this was not about "who is better" at making logos, but rather who came up with a design that is most suitable for my new company. The logo chosen was provided by: Dakouten It's simple yet professional looking design exemplifies the image I want my company to convey. A sincere thank you once again to everyone.
Dude I see the contest is over , I did not come here to check cause the folks here are graphically slow, and the creative process is challenging enough than to have to deal with slowness....The smiley faces are the logo for the designer, "BLUEBABY" and that is called a watermark the designs are original and thievery happens to be the norm on DP, watermarks prevent the theft of original creative designs, which are the property of the artist until transferred with permission to use - I wish DP would get serious about design being under or over 18 years of age, Since most visitors here are under 18 by web statistics I know I am asking for much...the design happens to be the tesseract with the A in the center Now that is professional engineering, but at a budget of $75 who knows what you really do - Look carefully at the design you picked and you will notice its just a variation of the design I submitted - DP is so frustrating when the CH know nothing of design and the contestants and CH feed into non-originality, by asking contestants to do what such and such did or I like that in part of so and so design but not this, then pick that person and let them make those edits...but that's DP and folks like the copycat, ooh I like that let me do it like this, type artistry I have even seen folks just cut out another persons image and place it within their own, if you can say that (their own), its crazy - I have seen better - the few contest I had originally started out within, when I registered here - I won those then I stayed here for a while and the normal set in with most just creating variations of other artist entries, I would hope that from here forward DP Design Contestants start saying to themselves post #15 already did that let me try something else, and CH start saying post #15 did that first everyone else after is just making variations, then PM that original person let them know you want them to upgrade their design and next see if they can achieve those variations if they can't then pick the copycat who did it better, but at the rate its going the contest here are getting worse and worse, waiting for original artist to slip up and start posting here to do something they think will be productive with their time to find out it is just crazy here - Congrats dakouten you ought to send me $5 and the guy with the original gear ideal send him $15lol again Congrats Dakouten you always do good work
You are saying that i copied my entry to your concept and to someones concept? from the all the feedback Ch has done and if your really interested with the contest, you should have done the revisions. And for your information, Im not working with the logo only. Im doing the business card, ID card, Letter head, envelopes etc. all for the price mentioned here.
What I said is you worked from the feedback and you know you did, so jokingly I informed you that you ought to show respect to the others who came before you, and its nice you put them side by side so we can see your inspiration now go get the image from the entrant who was the first one to post gears cause no one was doing gears until that person did it, that is what I am saying: I wish DP contestants would show creativity and originality and do you - not what it takes to win and see if what you got inside of you will generate a WIN, I told you - You do good work - just this time you fed off others creativity and others feedback and didn't come with your own concept - and your right I wasn't interested in this contest, and didn't check back until now, So you gonna send me my $5 and the $15 to the first person who posted gears in their design, that would be honorable...lol
I totally get you, knique, and I absolutely agree with you. Don't worry, it's DP's way.. We can do nothing about that.. Just let's wish it's gonna become a better place..
I don't know in some places of the world cheating or doing what others have done with no reference to inspiration happens to be the normal, its called plagiarism, ideosmil - your a fraud - We are not upset that dakouten won we congratulate the member we just wish DP had some integrity do you have a word like integrity in your language its a strong word but again for $20 on average most crack addicts would do anything - Yeah lets hope it gets better but until then, lets chat about it http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1885416 here again is a thread to do it: Thread
It was member: top's idea who lead off the creativity of this thread and now that I recall I chose to place my lettering that way cause I liked his design, I went for another color palette one for the web and one for business the web was the colors inspired by microsoft RGB logo idea the blue was from the sense of business and solidarity, I changed my font cause I wanted something with legs and a legal font look Courier or Times Roman but more modern and if top's idea would have ask me for a split of the prize or to collaborate on the work I would have considered it and most likely agreed cause that is integrity instead of just making him look like some crybaby jerk-off, I would have tried to do business with the member , instead of brag how I am doing a heap of work for less, I would think by now folks would start collaborating SINCE Your just feeding off others work anyway - it's just better business sense and you might get more done -
Let's see if the people who actually participated in the contest think dakouten truthfully deserves to win without saying "GREAT DESIGNS EVERYONE WHO ENTERED THE CONTEST YOU INSPIRED ME. I ought pay homage if nothing else to TOP'S IDEA #12; SPY100 #5, HEADLOCK #3, and KNIQUE (#89) especially for your concepts and leading me to a WIN" I have a spooky suspicion that I have seen those letters for another American Industrial company, if I stumble upon it I will post it....No More free Lunch, I am sure the gears came from some other companies logo...The Rotary Club of America loves to catch people stealing their logo I hope the business owner here doesn't get into a licensing issue cause someone wanted $35 USD real bad enough to plagiarize
Did you read post #84? i said i will update the thread when this transaction is finished. So your really accusing me of plagiarism. I Dare you, Prove It. Nuff said.
Plagerism and Suspicion, your buddy ideosmil already on notice, do not put me to the test of finding and researching and completing my suspicion about those gears ans letters, okay - I just really think you ought to consider stuffing your pride and giving some recognition to other designers who you obviously compiled your idea from that's all....you are not that original and neither are your companions want to discuss this further go to my contest experience thread in general chat....I am now watching you
As i said I Dare you. And if you have proven it then I can give you $5 for working hard and not for begging.
