Congratulations to all Designers! The contest submission window is finally closed. Although 99Designs indicates that a winner must be chosed within 14 days, I'm planning to make a choice no later than tomorrow morning. The final decision will be based on polls that I already have running now. These polls are made up active Beta testers using the product today. Thank you all for a job well done and standby for an announcement within the next 24 hours.

The end of this contest is near. I have launched a couple polls with your latest designs with my Beta testers to collect their input as daily users. The results have been coming in and I should be able to choose a final winner later today. All of these designs have been amazing, creative, and unique. Thank you for the great submissions!

Sorry Designers, I've been out of town on a business trip all day today. I'll get back to the ratings and feedback right away.

That's great to know, this is my first 99Designs.com experience. It's all pretty new to me.

Designers, please don't throw punches at each other. All of your designs are very well done and uniquely capture the core concept of sharing a piece of video with others. In the end, that seems to come down to a person, multiple persons, and arrows in some fashion. And as common as this model is, all of your designs are unique and exciting. Movement to the finalist round was also based on the quality of your latest submissions. I have also launched a couple polls that include my beta testers to help land on an icon design that excites them as well. Thank you for staying in the competition and for raising the bar for this app icon design.

The design concepts are looking great! Most of my comments to you have the same feedback. Here's the use case that explains that feedback...

"Something interesting is happening right now. I want to quickly record a video and send it to a bunch of my friends because they will never believe me. I startup my iPhone and quickly look for the video-sharing app. There's no time to hunt for the right app because I dont want to miss the action and I can't remember that silly name (kwixi)."

Because this app is going to be accessed in a hurry, the icon needs to be as simple and as recognizable as possible. It also has to have a clear indication that is is related to videos and sharing with people. Think about how easily identifiable the built-in iPhone icons are.

Visual polish is also very interesting. In addition to being functional and identifiable, the icon needs to look great too.

I'm very excited by your submissions, this is going to be a difficult decision.
