Brief Summary

THANK YOU ALL FOR SUCH A WIDE ARRAY OF CHOICES. Just so you know, because of the amount of choices, we are going to take the next few days to ponder what has come in. I know the contest has ended but we can't be rushed to make decision of this magnitude. Be assured we will decide within the next few days. PLEASE BE A LITTLE MORE PATIENT. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Nationally launching company!!! Good exposure!!! We want something that doesn't look dated but something that says - sophisticated, friendly, powerful, classy, good service - something that would stand the test of time and give a great first impression.

    Not as convenient but not a problem if the winning entry required it. Good luck. THX.

    Hey, today has been a busy personal day since it's Sunday but I will respond to the entries tomorrow. I REALLY appreciate the entries so far. I think the contemporary and clean looks from Raghav, Bintek and Sath are closer to what I will lean towards although NO decisions yet. I'm sure I'll hear feedback from the team when work resumes tomorrow Monday. I appreciate the black and white version delivered by Raghav. THX so much!!!!!!

    Noting Jream's comment, I understand the challenge about the powerful and friendly but that is where the expertise comes in. it's the graphical interpretation about the needs. Good luck!

    Many of you guys (u know who u r) are just fantastic! I can't even keep up with commenting on them! I suggested ideas on some and many of you cranked out the concepts or submitted new ones. Such great creative work that I hate that there is only going to be one winner. I'll keep you posted. I trust I am giving good feedback! :)

    i concentrated on partnership rather than the building stuff, that's why no house on my logo :)

    Apparently the contest has a few more hours but we have PLENTY of great entries to choose from. I'd suggest not even submitting any new ones at this point. We may wait until early next week to declare a winner since we have so many to choose from. We have been trying to narrow things down but it really is a lot to keep up with. THANK YOU for your entries and stay tuned. We WILL declare a winner soon but most likely NEXT week.

    I want just to say that the logo chosen is very similar in concept to the one i've submitted before.

    thanks midilizard. files sent payment received! Thanks for the contest, look forward to seeing you at sitepoint again : )

    viriathe....thanks for pm'ing me first. Also nice to see you wait until nearly 2 weeks after the contest closes to raise your concerns.
    i had not seen your logo before and anyway our logos are conceptually different. But we both did represent people and houses in our logos....
    i think that's where the similarities end.

    I'm sorry our logos are not conceptually different as you said, but it doesn't matter, there are a lot of another contest...

    As a full-time creative professional for 20 years, I must chime in. As a graphic designer myself, music composer with film and network TV credits, and executive creative director on web-oriented projects now - I would agree that conceptually the design is different. As a comparison to my argument, I would suggest the subleties of a font. If I request a logo in only font, conceptually where is the difference? The core and soul of talent and what that spirit can create is held solely by the individual and CANNOT be duplicated by another quite the same. It can be mimicked, copied and even be created with very similar variances but the very breath and spirit of art is ALWAYS unique. The soul of Viriathe versus Designabot's entries hold similar text, the name, colors, houses, people and rooflines - as did MANY others. The soul of the art was completely different and intuitively felt by all on my team. If I may be frank, but not cause insult, Viriathe's logo was never even a contender. Not chosen even once. I want NOTHING to be taken away from the winner. Designabot's portfolio is consistently strong and he has been a complete professional in any ensuing transactions. Blessings on all us artists.
